RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------- Bail Application No.6988 of 2010 ------------------------------- DATED: 22.11.2010 O R D E R Petitioner, who is the 5th accused in Crime No.2509/2010 of Central Police Station, Ernakulam, seeks anticipatory bail. 2. 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. With the above observation this application is disposed of . Dated this the 22 nd day of November, 2010. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. sj
