Judgment 1. This petition has been filed praying to direct the learned III Additional Sessions Judge, Madurai (PCR Court), to consider and to pass orders on the bail application to be filed by the petitioners on their surrender in Crime No.526 of 2014 pending on the file of the respondent. 2. The petitioners are alleged to have committed the offences under Sections 294(b), 323 and 324 of IPC and Sections 3(1)(r), 3(1)(s) of SC/ST Amendment Ordinance Act, 2014. It is stated by the petitioners that they are an innocent. 3. The learned Counsel for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners are prepared to surrender before the lower Court to co-operate with the prosecution and their petition for bail may be ordered to be considered on the same day. 4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) would oppose the said request and further submits that the injured has already been discharged from the hospital. 5. Considering the submission of the petitioners and considering the fact and circumstances by issuing a direction to the lower Court to dispose of the petition for bail on the same day, no prejudice would be caused to the prosecution, the following direction is issued to the lower Court: “In the event of the petitioners surrendering before the lower Court and their filing of petition seeking bail, the lower Court shall dispose of the said petition for bail on the same day strictly on merits and in accordance with law.” 6. Accordingly, the Criminal Original Petition stands disposed of.
