JAI GEORGE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 31/05/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------- Bail Application No. 3183 of 2007 ------------------------------- DATED: 31-05-2007 O R D E R Petitioner who is the second accused in Crime No.72 of 2000 of Pattambi Police Station for offences punishable under Secs.323 and 324 read with sec.34 I.P.C., seeks anticipatory bail. 2. Consequent on the non-appearance of the petitioner in C.C. No. 240 of 2000 on the file of the J.F.C.M, Pattambi, the case against the petitioner has been transferred to the Long Pending Case Register as L.P. Case No.55/03. 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 two weeks from today, the Magistrate shall release him on bail on appropriate conditions. With the above observation this application is disposed of . V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. ani
