PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.S.U.NAZAR THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 12/08/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR,J. ------------------------------------------ CRL.M.C.NO. 2621 OF 2009 ------------------------------------------ Dated 12th August 2009 O R D E R Petitioner is the sole remaining accused in C.C.315/1997 on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate, Payyannur and non bailable warrant is pending against him in C.C.284/2004. All other accused were acquitted. This petition is filed under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure for a direction to the Magistrate to consider his application for bail on the date of his surrender. 2. When an accused surrenders and files an application for bail, Magistrate is expected to pass orders 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, no direction is warranted. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE. uj. 2
