Consequent on the non-appearance of the petitioner in C.P. 164/06 on the file of the J.F.C.M., Chalakkudy, non-bailable warrants of arrest are pending against the petitioner. 4. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case of this nature. There is no reason why the petitioner should not surrender before the J.F.C.M., Chalakkudy and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the J.F.C.M., Chalakkudy, and files an application for regular bail within two weeks from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of preferably on the same date on which it is filed after considering his contention that the police were actually on the look out for Sunil but the petitioner's name is Babu who is not named as an accused in the case. With the above observation this application is disposed of. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. ani
