RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------- Bail Application No.3190 of 2011 ------------------------------- DATED: 3-5-2011 O R D E R Petitioners who are accused Nos. 2 and 4 in Crime No. 272 of 2003 of Mavelikkara Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 447 and 427 I.P.C. seek anticipatory bail. 2. Consequent on the non-appearance of the petitioners in C.C. No. 516 of 2008 on the file of the J.F.C.M. I, Mavelikkara, 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 . Dated this the 3rd day of May, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. B.A. No. 3183 of 2011 -:2:-
