PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 18/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ---------------------------------------- Bail Application No.1953 of 2011 ---------------------------------------- Dated: 18.03.2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the 4th accused in L.P.No.47/2008 on the file of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Alappuzha, 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 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. The petitioner may also highlight the fact that the co-accused in the case have already been acquitted after trial. With the above observation this application is disposed of . Dated this the 18th day of March, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE sj
