BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. M.S. BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Kss V. RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------- Bail Application No. 7856 of 2010 ------------------------------- DATED: 26-11-2010 O R D E R Petitioner who is the 6th accused in Crime No. 52 of 2010 of Valapad Police Station, for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 323, 324 and 308 read with Sec. 149 I.P.C. seeks anticipatory bail. 2. Consequent on the non-appearance of the petitioner on the file of the J.F.C.M., Kodungallur, the case against the petitioner has been transferred to the Long Pending Case Register as L.P. R. No. 157 of 2010. Admittedly, 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
