¶23

The 1^st petitioner is a Company and the 2^nd petitioner is the Managing Director of the Company. They are arrayed as accused 1 and 2 in L.P.No.17 of 2020 in C.C.No.505 of 2019 on the files of the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-III, Muvattupuzha. Cognizance in the case was taken on the basis of a complaint filed alleging commission of offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The petitioner failed to appear before the court in spite of summons being issued and this resulted in the court issuing non bailable warrant to the petitioner and the case being included in the long pending register. The petitioner seeks permission to surrender before the court and to move application for bail and for a direction to the court to consider the bail application on the date of surrender itself.

¶24

Considering the fact that the calender case is only of the year 2019, the petitioner is permitted to surrender before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-III, Muvattupuzha in L.P.No.17 of 2020 in C.C.No.505 of 2019 and move an application for bail. In such event, the learned Magistrate shall consider the application on the date of surrender and pass appropriate orders thereon on the same day itself.
