Consequent on the non-appearance of the petitioners in C.C.No. 356/2005 on the file of the J.F.C.M, Kunnamangalam, non-bailable warrants of arrest are pending against the petitioners. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted to nullify the process issued by a court of competent jurisdiction. There is no reason why the petitioners should not surrender before the Magistrate and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioners surrender before the Magistrate and file applications for regular bail within two weeks from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of preferably on the same day on which such applications are filed after considering the explanation offered by the petitioners for their previous non-appearance. With the above observation, this application is disposed of. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. mrcs
