The court emphasized that a petitioner must surrender before applying to quash charges.

O R D E R

The Crl.M.C. is filed to quash Annexure A final report and all further proceedings in Crime No.210 of

2011 registered by the Oachira Police Station.

On a perusal of the materials on record, it is seen that the petitioner has been absconding and the case has been transferred to the long pending register and numbered as L.P.No.89 of 2016. It is upto the petitioner to first surrender before the Trial Court and then move an application seeking quashing of the final report.

In light of the above submission, Crl.M.C. is closed, but without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to file a fresh Crl.M.C. after getting himself enlarged on bail.
