No. 2341 OF 2009 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 17th day of July, 2009 O R D E R Petitioner is the accused in CP No.9/08 on the files of Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Adoor. Case against the petitioner is that he committed offences under Section 8(1) and 8(2) of the Kerala Abkari Act. This petition is filed with a direction to the Magistrate to consider the application for bail to be filed by him on the date of his surrender. When an accused against whom a non-bailable warrant is pending 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 Magistrate is unaware of the provisions of law or the decisions of this Court or Apex court or that Magistrate will not act in accordance with law. Hence no direction is warranted. Petition is disposed of. M. SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE Crl.M.C. -:2:- ttb
