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 concerned and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the JFCM, Payyannur and files an application for regular bail, within two weeks from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of on merits, preferably, on the same day on which it is filed, after examining the explanation offered by the petitioner for his previous non-appearance. This application is disposed of as above. (V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE) aks
