This, of late, has taken a shape of menace and such misadventure, in my view, needs to be checked and firmly dealt with in a manner, which may have deterrent effect also.

2. The present case is an example where I am of the view that filing of the present application for cancellation of anticipatory bail granted to the Opposite Party Nos. 2 to 5 is gross abuse of the process of Court.

3. The Opposite Party No. 2 is wife of Opposite Party No. 3 and Opposite Party No. 4 is wife of Opposite Party No. 5.

4. It is the case of the petitioner that Opposite Party Nos. 2 and 4 had entered into an agreement for sale of their 01 (one) acre of land and Cold Storage along with entire structures, machine
