Bail Application No.8436 2010
-------------------------------------
Dated this the 23rd day of December, 2010
O R D E R
Petitioner, who is the accused in C.C.No.509/2005 on the file
of the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court, Kasaragod, seeks anticipatory
bail.
2. Consequent on the non-appearance of the petitioner in
C.C.No.509/2005 on the file of the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court,
Kasaragod, the case against the petitioner has been transferred to
the Long Pending Case Register as L.P. Case No.35/2008. 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.
V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE.
