4. Learned APP for the State points out that not only non-bailable warrants have been issued against the petitioner but processes under Section 82 and 83 of the Cr.P.C. have also issued which has been clearly mentioned in the bail rejection order itself.
5. Considering the issuance of processes under Sections 82 and 83 of the Cr.P.C., I am not inclined to enlarged the petitioner on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the application is rejection.
6. However, the present rejection would not prejudice any application for regular bail filed on behalf the petitioner and in case, he surrenders within a period of four weeks from today, the same shall be considered preferably on the same day.
