HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/10/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Kss V. RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------- Bail Application No. 6297 of 2010 ------------------------------- DATED: 4th October, 2010 O R D E R Petitioner who is the 3rd accused in in S.C. No. 271 of 2010 of Addl. Sessions Court (Adhoc-I) Ernakulam for offences punishable under Sec. 307 and 120 (b) read with Sec. 34 of I.P.C., seeks anticipatory bail. 2. Consequent on the non-appearance of the petitioner in the above case, 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 Sessions Court and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the Sessions Court 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 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 . V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. ani
