RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------- Bail Application No.7979 of 2010 ------------------------------- Dated this the 2nd day of December, 2010. O R D E R Petitioner who is the accused in C.C. No. 1922 of 2005 on the file of Addl. Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ernakulam, seeks anticipatory bail. 2. Admittedly, non-bailable warrants of arrest are pending against the petitioner. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted to nullify the process issued by a court of competent jurisdiction. There is no reason why the petitioner should not surrender before the Magistrate and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the Magistrate and files an application for regular bail within two weeks from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of preferably on the same day on which it is filed notwithstanding the pendency of non-bailable warrants of arrest against the petitioner and also after considering the explanation offered by the petitioner for his previous non-appearance. With the above observation this application is disposed of . Dated this the 2nd day of December, 2010. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
