Consequent on the non- appearance of the petitioner before the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Vaikom in C.C.No.621/2009, non-bailable warrants of arrest are pending against the petitioner. 2. 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 Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Vaikom and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Vaikom and files an application for regular bail within two weeks from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of, preferably, on the same date on which it is filed notwithstanding the pendency of non-bailable warrants of arrest against the petitioner. This Bail Application is, accordingly, disposed of. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
