CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/09/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Mn M.Sasidharan Nambiar, J. -------------------------- Crl.M.C.No.3816 of 2010 -------------------------- ORDER Petitioner, the first accused in C.P.No. 272/2009 on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court, Karunagappally, filed this petition for a direction to the Magistrate to release her on bail in the event of her surrender. 2. When an accused surrenders and files an application for bail, it is for the Magistrate to consider whether she is to be released on bail or not 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. Petition is disposed. 16th September, 2010 (M.Sasidharan Nambiar, Judge) tkv
