RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------------------- Bail Appln.No.4554 of 2011 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 09th day of June, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in L.P.No.2 of 2008 on the file of the Assistant Sessions Court, Kottarakkara, 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 Court below and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the court below and files an application for regular bail within two weeks from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of, preferably, on the same date on which it is filed notwithstanding the pendency of non-bailable warrants of arrest against the petitioner. This Bail Application is, accordingly, disposed of. Dated this the 09th day of June, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. skj
