BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR MR. S.U. NAZAR. THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/02/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: prv. M.Sasidharan Nambiar, J. -------------------------- Crl.M.C.No.552 of 2010 -------------------------- ORDER Petitioner, the fourth accused in C.C.No. 816/2006, now pending as L.P.No.269/2009, on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court, Sasthamcotta, filed this petition for a direction to the Magistrate to consider the application for bail to be moved by the petitioner on the date of surrender. 2. When an 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 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. 17th February, 2010 (M.Sasidharan Nambiar, Judge) tkv
