IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE V.RAMKUMAR THURSDAY, THE 8TH MARCH 2007 / 17TH PHALGUNA 1928 Bail Appl..No. 1269 of 2007() ----------------------------- CRIME NO. 465 OF ANCHAL POLICE STATION .................... PETITIONER/ACCUSED: ------------------------------------ SHANAVAS, S/O.ABDUL KALAM, VAZHAVILA MELATHIL VEEEU, MEEYANA MURI, VELINNALLOOR VILLAGE, KOLLAM DISTRICT. BY ADV. SRI.K.V.ANIL KUMAR RESPONDENTS: COMPLAINANT: ------------------------- THE SUB INSPECTOR OF POLICE, ANCHAL POLICE STATION, REPRESENTED BY THE PLUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.P.N. SUKUMARAN THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/03/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------- Bail Application No. 1269 of 2007 ------------------------------- DATED: 8th March 2007 O R D E R Petitioner who is the first accused in Crime No. 465 of 2004 of Anchal Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 55 (a) and 55(i) of the Abkari Act, seeks anticipatory bail. 2. Consequent on the non-appearance of the petitioner in C.P. No.201/06 on the file of the J.F.C.M.-I, Punalur, the case against him was split up and transferred to the Long Pending Case Register as L.P. 168/06. Admittedly, non-bailable warrants of arrest are pending against the petitioner. Such being the position, I am not inclined to nullify the process issued by a court of competent jurisdiction by granting anticipatory bail. It is for the petitioner to seek regular bail after surrendering before the concerned Magistrate's Court. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the J.F.C.M.-I, Punalur, 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. With the above observation this application is dismissed. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. ani
