BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR MR.AMJAD ALI. THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/07/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: rs. M.Sasidharan Nambiar, J. -------------------------- Crl.M.C.No.2233 of 2009 -------------------------- ORDER Petitioner was the absconding second accused in S.C.No.172/2005 on the file of Sessions Court, Manjeri, now pending as S.C.No.112/2006. This petition is filed under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure for a direction to the Sessions Judge to consider the application for bail to be moved by the petitioner on the date of surrender. 2. When an absconding accused surrenders and files an application for ail, Sessions Judge is expected to pass orders on the application without delay. I find no reason to believe that Sessions Judge is unaware of the provisions of law or the decisions of this Court or the Apex Court or that Sessions Judge will not act in accordance with law. In such circumstances, no direction is warranted. Petition is disposed. 9th July, 2009 (M.Sasidharan Nambiar, Judge) tkv
