SRI.RAJIT RESPONDENT: STATE -------------------- STATE OF KERALA,REP.BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR HIGH COURT OF KERALA,ERNAKULAM. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 17/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------------------- Bail Appln.No.4789 of 2011 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 17th day of June, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in L.P.No.92 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Chavakkad, seeks anticipatory bail. 2. Consequent on the non-appearance of the petitioner in C.P.No.8 of 2009 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Chavakkad, the case against the petitioner has been transferred to the Long Pending Case Register as L.P.No.92 of 2010. 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 Magistrate and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the Magistrate and files an application for regular bail within three 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 17th day of June, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. skj
