RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------- Bail Application No. 7846 of 2010 ------------------------------- DATED: 26-11-2010 O R D E R Petitioner who is the 3rd accused in Crime No. 351 of 2005 of Museum Police Station, Thiruvananthapuram for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147 and 324 read with Sec. 149 I.P.C. seeks anticipatory bail. 2. Consequent on the non-appearance of the petitioner in C.C.No. 697 of 2005 on the file of the J.F.C.M.III, Thiruvananthapuram, 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 and seek regular bail. 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 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 . V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. ani/
