CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/07/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: M.Sasidharan Nambiar, J. -------------------------- Crl.M.C.No.2174 of 2009 -------------------------- ORDER Petitioner is the 12th accused in C.P.No.21/2008 on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court, Paravoor, Kollam. The offences alleged are under Sections 143, 147, 148, 149, 324 and 307 of Indian Penal Code. This petition is filed under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure for a direction to the Magistrate to consider the application for bail to be moved by him on the date of surrender. 2. When an absconding accused surrenders and files an application for bail, Magistrate is expected to pass orders on 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 Magistrate will not act in accordance with law. In such circumstances, no direction is warranted. Petition is dismissed. 6th July, 2009 (M.Sasidharan Nambiar, Judge) tkv
