ORDER
Petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No.30/2007
of Kumbla Excise Range, seeks anticipatory bail. Consequent
on the non-appearance of the petitioner before the J.F.C.M-I,
Kasaragod, the case against him was re-filed as C.P.No.443/2010
Admittedly, non-bailable warrant of arrest are pending against
the petitioner.
2. 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 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.
V. RAMKUMAR,(JUDGE)
