RAMKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.7788 of 2010 --------------------------------------------- Dated this the 26th day of November, 2010 ORDER The petitioner, who is accused No.2 in S.C.No.145 of 2003 on the file of the District & Sessions Court, Manjeri, for offences punishable under Sections 448, 323, 324 r/w 34 I.P.C. and Section 3(i)(xi) of SC/ST Act, seeks anticipatory bail. 2. 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 District & Sessions Judge, Manjeri, and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the court below 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
