BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR MR.AMJAD ALI. THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/08/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: rs. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR,J. ------------------------------------------ CRL.M.C.NO. 2681 OF 2009 ------------------------------------------ Dated 17th August 2009 O R D E R Petitioner is accused in L.P.17/2001 on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate-I, Chalakudy. Case of the petitioner is that case is settled during 1996 and all other accused were acquitted consequent to the settlement and learned Magistrate may be directed to release the petitioner on bail in the event 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 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.
