Admittedly non bailable warrants of arrest are pending against the petitioner. The circumstances under which those non bailable warrants of arrest came to be issued against the petitioner are not discernible to this Court. It is only proper that the petitioner surrenders before the learned Magistrate and seeks regular bail. Accordingly, this Criminal Miscellaneous Case is disposed of permitting the petitioner to surrender before the learned Magistrate and file applications for regular bail within a period of two weeks from today. In case the petitioner complies with Crl.M.C.No. 1449/2008 2 the above condition, his applications for bail in each of the above cases shall be considered and disposed of on merits notwithstanding the pendency of non bailable warrants against him.
