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 Bail Appln.No.1030/2011 : 2 : petitioner and also after considering the explanation offered by the petitioner for his previous non- appearance. With the above observation this application is disposed of. Dated this the 16th day of February, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. skj
