CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/08/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: M.Sasidharan Nambiar, J. -------------------------- Crl.M.C.No.2693 of 2009 -------------------------- ORDER Petitioner is the accused in S.T.No.1945/2008 on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court- III, Palakkad. This petition is filed under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure for a direction to the Magistrate to recall the non bailable warrant and 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 and also files an application to recall the warrant, Magistrate is expected to pass orders on the applications 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. 18th August, 2009 (M.Sasidharan Nambiar, Judge) tkv
