CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/02/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: tss M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR,J. ======================== Crl.M.C No.545 OF 2010 ==================== Dated this the 16th day of February, 2010. O R D E R Petitioner is the accused in C.C.No.821/2007 on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate Chalakudy. Non bailable warrant is pending against the petitioner. Petition is filed for permission to surrender before the Magistrate and to direct the Magistrate to release him on bail. 2. No permission is necessary for the accused to surrender before the Magistrate. When an accused surrenders and files an application for bail, it is for the Magistrate to consider the application for bail without delay and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law. I find no reason to believe that the Magistrate is unaware of the provisions of law or the decisions of this Court or that the Magistrate will not act in accordance with law. Hence, no direction is warranted. Petition is disposed. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR,JUDGE. mns
