RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------- Bail Application No.1472 of 2011 ------------------------------- DATED: 22.02.2011 O R D E R Petitioner, who is the accused in C.C.No.509 of 2009 on the file of Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum (CDRF), Ernakulam, 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 CDRF, Ernakulam and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the said Forum and files an application for regular bail within four 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. With the above observation this application is disposed of . Dated this the 22nd day of February, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. sj
