ORDER

This Criminal Original Petition has been filed to enlarge the petitioner on Bail in the event of arrest in the Crime No.3 of 2026 on the file of respondent police.

2.Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the prime accused has already been released on bail and that the case was registered during the year 2024.

4.However, the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) would strongly oppose for granting the anticipatory bail by stating that the petitioner has got two previous cases in similar nature, which clearly demonstrates that as and when the petitioner is enlarged on bail, he misused the liberty and again committing the similar nature of offences.

5.Apart from that, the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) would submit that there is no change in circumstances from the previous dismissal, which also cannot be faulted. However, this Court is of the firm view that the petitioner does not deserve any anticipatory bail. Hence, this Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed.
