Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner was heard. 3. Petitioner is an accused against whom a non- bailable warrant is pending in C.P.48/2009. When an accused files an application for bail after surrender, Magistrate is expected to pass orders 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 that of the Apex Court or that the Magistrate will not act in accordance with law. Hence no direction is warranted. Petition is dismissed. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR JUDGE tpl/- M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, J. --------------------- W.P.(C).NO. /06 --------------------- JUDGMENT SEPTEMBER,2006
