RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------- Bail Application No.10620 of 2011 ------------------------------- DATED: 19-12-2011 O R D E R Petitioner who is the 5th accused in Crime No. 372 of 2000 of Irinjalakkuda Police Station, Thrissur District, for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 332, 324, 120 (B) read with Sec. 149 I.P.C. and Sec. 27 of the Arms Act, seeks anticipatory bail. 2. Consequent on the non-appearance of the petitioner before the J.F.C.M. Irinjalakkuda, his case has been transferred to the Long Pending Case Register as L.P. Case No. 80 of 2011. 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 . Dated this the 19th day of December, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. ani/
