RAMKUMAR, J. ====================== Bail Application No. 1479 of 2009 ======================= Dated this the 19th day of March, 2009. O R D E R Petitioner who is the 1st accused in Crime No. 122 of 1995 of Ramamangalam Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 341, 323, 427 and Section 34 I.P.C., seeks anticipatory bail. 2. Consequent on the non-appearance of the petitioner in L.P. No. 21 of 2003 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Kolencherry 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 after considering the explanation offered by the petitioner for his previous non-appearance, notwithstanding the pendency of non-bailable warrants of arrest against the petitioner. With the above observation this application is disposed of . Dated this the 19th day of March, 2009. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
