RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.8187 of 2010 -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of December, 2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the 6th accused in S.C.No.1095/2006 on the file of the IInd Additional 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. This Bail Application is, accordingly, disposed of. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ln
