However, it is directed that the Petitioner may surrender before the learned S.D.J.M., Puri in connection with the aforementioned case within one month from today.
In the event of his surrender and motion for bail, the same be considered by the learned S.D.J.M., Puri on merits, in the first hour of the day.
