IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE V.RAMKUMAR WEDNESDAY, THE 21ST FEBRUARY 2007 / 2ND PHALGUNA 1928 Bail Appl..No. 1013 of 2007 ----------------------------- CRIME NO.177/2000 OF MANJESHWAR POLICE STATION PETITIONER/ACCUSED ----------------------------------- ABDUL JABHAR 45 YEARS, S/O.AHAMED KUTTY, BYARY, NR.B.G.B.COMPOUNT, THENKULI PADY VILLAGE AND POST, KINNI KDOMBLA, MANGALORE, D.K. BY ADV. SRI.T.B.SHAJIMON RESPONDENTS: COMPLAINANT ------------------------ STATE OF KERALA REP BY OF THE SUB INSPECTOR OF POLICE, MANJESHWAR POLICE STATION, REP BY THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, ERNAKULAM. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. JAI GEORGE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 21/02/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V.RAMKUMAR, J. ---------------------------- Bail Application No. 1013/2007 (B) ----------------------------- Dated this 21st day of February, 2007 O R D E R Petitioner who is the second accused in Crime No.177/2000 of Manjeshwar Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 420, 468 and 471 IPC read with Section 34 IPC., seeks anticipatory bail. 2. Consequent of the non-appearance of the petitioner in C.C.No.82/2002 before the C.J.M. Kasargod, the case against him was transferred to the long pending register and registered as L.P.C.21/2005. Admittedly, the non bailable warrants of arrest are pending against the petitioner. Such being the position, I am not inclined to nullify the process issued by a court of competent jurisdiction by granting anticipatory bail. There is no reason why the petitioner should not surrender before the C.J.M, Kasargod and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the C.J.M., Kasargod, and files an application for regular bail within two weeks from today, the B.A.1013/2007 2 same shall be considered and disposed of, preferably on the same day on which it is filed. The application is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE mrcs
