RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------- Bail Application No.8769 of 2010 ------------------------------- DATED: 28.12.2010 O R D E R Petitioners, who are the accused in C.C.No.911/2009 on the file of the J.F.C.M, Chalakudy, seek anticipatory bail. 2. Admittedly, non-bailable warrants of arrest are pending against the petitioners. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted to nullify the process issued by a court of competent jurisdiction. There is no reason why the petitioners should not surrender before the Magistrate and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioners surrender before the Magistrate and file 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 petitioners and also after considering the explanation offered by the petitioners for their previous non-appearance. With the above observation this application is disposed of . Dated this the 28th day of December, 2010. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. sj
