Compliance with court orders is vital for exercising inherent jurisdiction in criminal proceedings.

O R D E R Dated this the 28^th day of January 2026 The Criminal Miscellaneous Case is filed to quash Annexure A2 final report and all further proceedings in C.C. No. 235/2015 on the file of the Court of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Mannarkkad.

3. When the Crl.M.C came up for consideration

19.11.2025, this Court considering the fact that the petitioner has been absconding for more than a decade and the case against him is pending in the Long Pending Register, directed the petitioner to surrender before the jurisdictional court within a week from the date of order and file applications to recall the warrant and get himself enlarged on bail and, thereafter, move the Crl.M.C. 4. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Public Prosecutor and the learned counsel appearing for the respondents 2 to 7.

5. It is an undisputed fact that, despite the above order, the petitioner has not surrendered before the Trial Court and got himself enlarged on bail. In light of the non-compliance of the order dated 19.11.2025, I am not inclined to exercise the inherent powers of this Court under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure .

In the result, the Crl.M.C is dismissed, but without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to file a fresh Crl.M.C on the same cause of action, after the petitioner surrenders before the Trial Court and get himself enlarged on bail.
