            Bail Application No.7308 of 2010
           ------------------------------------------------
       Dated this the 10th day of November, 2010

                              ORDER

The petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.188

of 2008 of Rajakkadu Police Station, for offences

punishable under Sections 326, 294(b) & 427 I.P.C.,

seeks anticipatory bail.

2. Consequent on the non-appearance of the

petitioner in C.C.No.554 of 2008 on the file of the Judicial

Magistrate of the First Class, Adimaly, 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

Bail Appln.No.7308/2010
: 2 :

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,

if any.

With the above observation this application is

disposed of.

V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE
