BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/12/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: tss V.RAMKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.8410 of 2010 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 23rd day of December, 2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.495 of 2010 of Vadakara Police Station, seeks anticipatory bail. 2. Consequent on the non-appearance of the petitioner in C.P.No.91 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Vadakara, 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. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
