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 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 Crmc 4149/09 2 law. In such circumstances, no direction is warranted. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE. uj.
