The petitioner herein stands indicted as the 4^th accused in SC

No.1131/2010 of 6^th Additional Sessions Court, Thiruvananthapuram.

2. Petitioner submits that,he appeared before the court below

along with the co-accused. It emerges that on 1/8/2016, the petitioner

was absent and sections 82 and 83 Cr.P.C. steps were ordered against

him. Thereafter there were several postings. The petitioner herein

has approached this Court contending that, he is ready and willing to

appear before the court below and to participate in future proceedings.

However, his apprehension is that, in the light of the warrant issued

from the court below, his applications for bail and recalling the warrant

are not likely to be taken up on the same date of his appearance.

3. It seems that, the petitioner herein remained absent for almost

two years. Evidently, there are some laches on his part. However,

considering the entire facts, I am inclined to dispose of the

Crl.M.C.with a direction to the petitioner to surrender before the court

below within ten working days from today and to deposit one half of

the bond amount. If these conditions are satisfied, the court below

shall take up the petitioner's application
