B.A.No. 7499 OF 2006
-----------------------------------------------------------
DATED THIS THE 19TH DAY OF DECEMBER, 2006
O R D E R
Petitioner who is the sole accused in Crime No.289/06 of
Vadakara Police Station for an offence punishable under section 420
IPC in respect of a motor vehicle deal, seeks anticipatory bail.
2. Admitedly, consequent on the non-appearance of the
petitioner before the J.F.C.M., Vadakara where the case is pending as
C.C.No.335/06, non-bailable warrant of arrest is 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 trial court and seek
regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the trial
court and files an application for regular bail, within 10 days from
today, the same shall be considered and disposed of, preferably on the
same date on which it is filed after considering the grievance of the
petitioner that he did not receive summons in the case.
With this direction, this petition is disposed of.
V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE
