No. 1605 OF 2009 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of May, 2009 O R D E R Petitioner is the 1st accused in Crime No.349/08 of Nooranad Police Station registered for the offence under sections 8(1)(2) and 55(a) of Kerala Abkari Act. This petition is filed under section 482 of the Cr.P.C. for a direction to the Magistrate to pass orders in the application for bail in the event of his surrender in C.P. No.18/09 on the same day. 2. When an accused surrenders and files an application for bail, with notice to the Assistant Pubic Prosecutor, Magistrate is expected to pass orders in that application without any delay. I find no reason to give a direction as sought for because, the Magistrate is expected to pass orders in the application without delay The Crl.M.C. is therefore dismissed.
