Thanks in advance again for coming to the rescue with answers/hints/parsing for the following:
ACROSS:
18 Turin ultimately abandoned southern birds (4) : TU?S
22 After sin in Israel check first of verdicts (3) : ??V
46 Curiously deliberating, get sadly lost involving two lines (8) : D?L??E??
48 Using a gun, joins military men (7) : S?L??D?
49 Misused shekels for Sikh hairdos and beards (6) : ?ES?E?

DOWN:
1 Pirates strike with heavy impact in places (7) : S?A?S??
31 Passion on board ship for food fish (7) : S?NDE?? ( SANDEEL)?

1 RA[m] = 'strike' - 'm' extra in SEATS = 'places' (your 2nd 's' is wrong
