SALIM. THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/01/2010, ALONG WITH CRMC.18 OF 2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: rs. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR,J. =========================== CRL.M.C.No.17 & 18 OF 2010 =========================== Dated this the 6th day of January,2010 ORDER Petitioner is the first accused in C.C.254/2004 and third accused in C.C.40/2007 on the file of Chief Judicial Magistrate Court, Kottayam. These petitions are filed for a direction to the Magistrate to consider the application for bail on the date of his surrender contending that a non bailable warrant is pending. 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 unaware 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. Petitions are disposed. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR JUDGE tpl/- M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, J. --------------------- W.P.(C).NO. /06 --------------------- JUDGMENT SEPTEMBER,2006
