CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/09/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: M. SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, J. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Crl. M.C. No. 3046 OF 2009 ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 18th day of September, 2009 O R D E R Petitioner is the accused in LPC.No.29/2009 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate-I, Hosdurg. This petition is filed for a direction to the Magistrate to release the petitioner on bail on the date of his surrender. 2. When an absconding accused surrenders and files an application, Magistrate is expected to pass orders in the application for bail without delay. The question whether the petitioner should be granted bail or not is to be decided by the Magistrate. 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. No direction is warranted. Petition is disposed of. (M. SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE) aks
