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 the Magistrate is unaware of the provisions of law or the decisions of this court or the Apex court or that the Crmc 3729/10 2 Magistrate will not act in accordance with law. In such circumstances, no direction is warranted. Petition is disposed. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE. uj.
