RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------- Bail Application No. 4062 of 2011 ------------------------------- DATED: 25-05-2011 O R D E R Petitioner who is the accused in Crime No. 218 of 2006 of Kizhakkekallada Police Station, Kollam District for an offence punishable under Section 498 A read with Sec. 34 I.P.C., seeks anticipatory bail. 2. Consequent on the non-appearance of the petitioner in C.C. no. 1284 of 2007 before the J.F.C.M. I, Kollam, 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 25th day of May, 2011. Sd/-V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. ani/ /true copy/ P.S. to Judge
