M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR,J. --------------------------------------------- CRL.M.C.NO.3895 OF 2010 --------------------------------------------- Dated 22nd September, 2010 O R D E R Petitioner, the accused in S.T.407/2009 on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court-IV, Kollam filed this petition under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure for a direction to the Magistrate to release him on bail. 2. When an accused surrenders and files an application for bail, it is for the Magistrate to pass appropriate order in the application without delay. I find no reason to believe that the Magistrate is unaware 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 law. In such circumstances, Crmc 3895/10 2 no direction is warranted. Petition is disposed. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE. uj.
