RAMKUMAR, J. ========================= B.A. No. 820 of 2009 ========================= Dated this the 18th day of March, 2009. O R D E R The petitioner who is the accused in a murder case seeks anticipatory bail. He is the accused in Crime No. 58 of 2004 of Karukachal Police Station. His earlier application for anticipatory bail was dismissed by this Court as per Annexure B order dated 11.08.2008 in B.A. No. 5031 of 2008. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case of this nature. There is no reason why the petitioner should not seek regular bail from the Magistrate concerned at the appropriate stage. I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. This petition is accordingly dismissed. Dated this the 18th day of March, 2009. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
