¶11

It is seen that a case in Crime No.320 of 2006 was registered against 13 persons for offences under Sections 147, 148, 302 IPC r/w 109, 120(B) IPC. After completing the investigation, the respondent police filed a final report before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.II, Hosur.

¶12

During the pendency of committal proceedings, it appears that Kora Gobi @ Gobi (A7) was absconding and therefore, the case against him was split up in P.R.C.No.2 of 2010 and the other accused were committed to the Court of Sessions. Now, the case is numbered as S.C.No.68 of 2010 and is on the file of the Additional District and Sessions Judge, Hosur. While so, it appears that Kora Gobi @ Gobi has been arrested by the police and he is now enlarged on bail in Crime No.320 of 2006.

¶13

Under such circumstances, it is imperative that Kora Gobi @ Gobi is produced before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.II, Hosur and after furnishing him with the copies of under Section 209 Cr.P.C., his cases are also to be committed to the Court of Sessions and numbered along with other connected cases including S.C. No.68 of 2010.

¶14

This Court directs the respondent police to take steps to ensure the Kora Gobi @ Gobi appears before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.II, Hosur and on such appearance, the learned Judicial Magistrate No.II, Hosur, is directed to proceed with the committal proceedings expeditiously and to complete the same within a period of two weeks from the date of appearance of Kora Gobi @ Gobi before him. Until such time, the trial in S.C.No.68 of 2010 shall be kept in abeyance. After the Kora Gobi @ Gobi is committed to the Court of Additional Sessions Judge, Hosur, he shall be tried along with the co-accused in the case.

¶15

If Kora Gobi @ Gobi does not appear before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.II, Hosur and submit himself for committal proceedings and if he does not cooperate for trial, then it is open to the learned Judicial Magistrate No.II, to issue Non Bailable Warrant against him. Under such circumstances, the trial in SC No.68 of 2010 can proceed further without Kora Gobi @ Gobi.

¶16

With the above directions, this criminal original petition is closed. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
