                       Bail Application No.557 of 2011

                              DATED: 21.01.2011

                                    O R D E R

Petitioner, who is the 1st accused in C.C.No.774/2010 on the file

of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kasaragod, 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 and

also after considering the explanation offered by the petitioner for his

previous non-appearance.

With the above observation this application is disposed of .

Dated this the 21st day of January, 2011.

V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE.
