PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.P.A.SALIM THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 23/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------- Bail Application No.6917 of 2009 ------------------------------- DATED:23.03.2010 O R D E R Petitioners who are accused Nos.1 and 2 in S.T.No.852/2008 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, 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
