Consequent on the non-appearance of the petitioner before the J.F.C.M, Vaikom, non-bailable warrant of arrest are pending against the petitioner. 2. 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 learned 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 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) sj
