CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: prv. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR,J. ------------------------------------------ CRL.M.C.NO.994 OF 2010 ------------------------------------------ Dated 23rd March 2010 O R D E R Petitioner is the accused in C.C.57/2006 now pending as L.P.1/2008 on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate-I, Mananthavady. Though he was enlarged on bail he was subsequently absconded. Non bailable warrant is pending. 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 surrender. 2. When accused against whom non bailable warrant is pending surrenders and files an application for bail, Magistrate is expected to pass orders in the Crmc 994/10 2 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. Petition is disposed. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE. uj.
