RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------- Bail Application No. 3321 of 2007 ------------------------------- DATED: 30-05-2007 O R D E R Petitioner who is the second accused in C.C. No. 362 of 2007 on the file of the J.F.C.M-I, Kochi for offences punishable under Sections 147, 148 and 447 I.P.C., seeks anticipatory bail. 2. Consequent on the non-appearance of the petitioner in C.C.362 of 2007 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 after considering the explanation offered by the petitioner for his previous non-appearance and also considering the fact that the offences are bailable offences. With the above observation this application is disposed of . V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. ani
