PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. C.S. HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 27/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------- Bail Application No. 4833 of 2011 ------------------------------- DATED: 27-06-2011 O R D E R Petitioner who is the sole accused in Crime No. 1153 of 2009 of Thodupuzha Police Station, Idukki District for an offence pun ishable under Section 420 I.P.C. seeks anticipatory bail. 2. Consequent on the non-appearance of the petitioner in C.C. No. 169 of 2009 on the file of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Thodupuzha, the case against the petitioner has been transferred to the Long Pending Case Register as L.P. Case No. 2 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 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 . Dated this the 27th day of June, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. ani/
