JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD.

(2.) NO case for quashing the first information report of crime NO. 163 of 1989, under sections 147, 148, 149 and 307 of the Indian Penal Code, police station Manda, District Allahabad is made out.

(3.) THE learned counsel for the petitioner drew our attention towards the observations made by this Court in Civil Misc Writ Petition No. Nil of 1989, decided on the 17th of October, 1989 Mahendra Pal Singh v. State of U. P., 1989 ACrR 770 and also in Civil Misc. Writ Petition i\o 20624 of 1989, decided on the 3rd of November, 1989 Jhansi Concrete Products, Jhansi v. State of UP, 1990 ACrR 31 and prayed that a direction be given to the Magistrate or the Sessions Judge to release the petitioner on his furnishing a personal bond, if bail application is not disposed of 'on the date on which it is presented. We do not agree with the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner that a principle of law has been laid down after interpreting some statutory provision in those decisions for being universally applied. We do not agree that the facts of the instant case call for a direction to that effect. \Ve would further like to observe that the observations made in the reported cases (supra) do not need any scrutiny by a Larger Bench.
