RAMKUMAR, J. =================== Bail Application No.1564 of 2011 ============================ Dated this the 10th day of March, 2011. ORDER Petitioner, who is the 1st accused in S.C.No.453/2007 on the file of Additional Assistant Sessions Court, Kollam, 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 Court below and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the court below 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 notwithstanding the pendency of non-bailable warrants of arrest against the petitioner. The petitioner may highlight the fact that co-accused in the case have already been acquitted after trial. This Bail Application is, accordingly, disposed of. V. RAMKUMAR,JUDGE. dmb
