Consequent on the non-appearance of the petitioner in C.P.No.118/2006 on the file of the JFCM-II, Neyyattinkara, 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 concerned and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the Magistrate concerned 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, after examining the explanation offered by the petitioner for his previous non-appearance. This application is disposed of as above. (V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE) aks
