CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/6/2009, THE COURT ON 19/06/2009 PASSED THE FOLLOWING: dkr M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, J. ----------------------------- CR.M.C NO.1992 OF 2009 -------------------------- Dated this the 19th day of June 2009 ------------------------------------- ORDER Petitioner, the absconding accused in L.P 65/2009 pending before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Kunnamkulam filed this petition for a direction to the Magistrate to consider his application for bail to be filed on the date of his surrender itself. 2. When an absconding accused files an application for bail after surrender, Magistrate is expected to pass orders on that application without delay. I find no reason to believe that the Magistrate is not aware of the provisions of law or the decisions of this court or the Apex court or that the Magistrate will not act in accordance with CR.MC.No. 1992/2009 2 law. In such circumstances, no direction is warranted. Petition is dismissed. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE vdv
