Bail Application No.6335 of 2010

DATED: 5.10.2010
O R D E R
Petitioner, who is the accused in S.T. No.446/2007 on the file
of ACJM (E.O), Ernakulam for an offence punishable under Section
162 of the Companies Act, 1956. and whose case is now pending
before the court below as L.P.No.235/2008, seeks anticipatory bail.
2. Consequent on the non-appearance of the petitioner
before court, 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. But at the same
time, I am inclined to permit the petitioner to surrender before the
court below and seek bail by filing an application for regular bail.
Accordingly, If the petitioner surrenders before the court below
within two weeks from today and files an application for regular bail,
the court below shall, preferably on the same date on which the
application is filed, release the petitioner on bail on the petitioner
executing a bond for Rs. 15,000/- (Rupees fifteen thousand only)
with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction
of the court below, and subject to the following conditions:-
Bail A.No.6335 of 2010 -:2:-
1. Petitioner shall report before the Chief
Ministerial Officer of the court below, between 10
a.m. and 12 noon on all Wednesdays.
2. The petitioner shall appear before the court below
on all the dates of posting of the above case.
3. The petitioner shall not influence or intimidate the
prosecution witnesses nor shall he attempt to
tamper with the evidence for the prosecution.
4. Petitioner shall not commit any offence while on
bail.
5. If the petitioner commits breach of any of the above
conditions, the bail granted to his shall be liable to be
cancelled.
This petition is disposed of as above.
