- (1.) VIRENDRA Saran, J. Heard the learned counsel for the applicants and the learned State counsel.
(2.) I am not inclined to interfere with the order dated 20-5-1993 of the III Additional Sessions Judge, Mainpuri in Criminal Revision No. 358 of 1990 Makrand Singh v. Suresh Singh and others. Considering the entire circumstances and the facts of the case it is directed that the applicants shall not be arrested for a period of 15 days from today to enable them to surrender and apply for bail. When t-iey surrender and apply for bail, their application shall be considered according to the following directions ; (1) If the applicants surrender and apply for bail before the Magistrate concerned, their bail application shall be disposed of the same day. (2) In case the hearing or disposal of the bail application is adjourned to some future date, the applicant shall be released on their execut ing personal bonds till that date and on that date the bail applica tion of the applicants shall be finally disposed of in the early hours of the day to enable the applicants to apply for bail in the court of Sessions, in case the bail application is rejected. (3) The learned Sessions Judge shall also endeavour to dispose of the bail application of the applicants the same day but in case he adjourns the hearing or disposal of the bail application. He shall release the applicants on similar personal bonds until the disposal of the bail application. However, it is not desirable to send the applicant No. 3 who is a woman to jail at the very threshold since the applicant No. 3 is a woman the learned court below shall extend the benefit of the proviso to Section 437, Cr. P. C. obviating the necessity of sending her to jail. It is further made clear that the learned Magistrate has jurisdiction to admit a woman to bail under the proviso of Section 437 Cr. P. C.
(3.) WITH the above observations, this application is finally disposed of. A certified copy of this order may be given to the learned counsel for the applicants on payment of usual charges within three days. Application disposed of. .;
