M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR,J. --------------------------------------------- CRL.M.C.NO. 4274 2010 --------------------------------------------- Dated 21st October, 2010 O R D E R An absconding accused in S.C.8/2006 on the file of Additional Sessions Court, (Fast Track-II), Manjeri filed this petition under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure to direct the learned Sessions Judge to release him on bail on the date of his surrender. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner was heard. 3. When an absconding accused surrenders and files an application for bail, it is for the learned Sessions Judge to consider whether he is to be released on bail or not, without delay. It is not for this Court to direct the learned Sessions Crmc 4274/10 2 Judge to release the absconding accused on bail. I do not believe that learned Sessions Judge is unaware of the provisions of law or the decisions of this Court or that the learned Sessions Judge will not act in accordance with law. Hence no direction is warranted. Petition is disposed. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE. uj.
