No. 2748 OF 2009 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 20th day of August, 2009 O R D E R Petitioner is the accused in C.P.179/2008 on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-1, Pathanamthitta. This petition is filed 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 Magistrate is not aware of the provisions of law or the decisions of this court or the Apex Court or that Magistrate will not act in accordance with law. Hence no direction is warranted. Petition is disposed. ( M. SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE) WPC. : 2 : jma
