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 J.F.C.M-Ponnani and seeks regular bail. Accordingly, this Crl.M.C. is disposed of permitting the petitioner to surrender before the learned Magistrate and file an application for regular bail within a period of two weeks from today. In case, the petitioner complies Crl.M.C.No.2902/2010 : 2 : with the above condition, he shall be released on bail on appropriate conditions. The petitioner may thereafter apply for personal exemption under Section 205 of the Code of Criminal Procedure during the trial of the case. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
