K.K. RAJEEV THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/12/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: svs V. RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------- Bail Application No.10701 of 2011 ------------------------------- DATED: 19.12.2011 O R D E R Petitioners, who are accused Nos.1 and 2 in C.P.No.132/2010 on the file of J.F.C.M, Pathanamthitta, seek anticipatory bail. 2. Admittedly, non-bailable warrants of arrest are pending against the petitioners. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted to nullify the process issued by a court of competent jurisdiction. There is no reason why the petitioners should not surrender before the Magistrate and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioners surrender before the Magistrate and file 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 petitioners and also after considering the explanation offered by the petitioners for their previous non-appearance. With the above observation this application is disposed of . V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. sj
