ORDER

This criminal original petition has been filed seeking a direction to the

respondents to withdraw the lookout circular issued against the Petitioner in

Crime No.47/2019, on the file of the second respondent.

2.The learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that

the petitioner has earlier filed a petition in Crl.O.P(MD)No.16676 of 2022

seeking the same relief and this Court, considering the submission made by

the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side), who appeared for the

respondents therein that the petitioner has not complied with the conditions

imposed while granting anticipatory bail, dismissed the petition and also

directed the respondent police to take necessary action for cancellation of bail

before the concerned Court. He would further submit that the petitioner and

one another have earlier filed a petition in Crl.M.P(MD)No.3527 of 2022 in

Crl.O.P(MD)No.606 of 2022, seeking relaxation of conditions and this Court,

vide order, dated 17.03.2022, relaxed the conditions and that therefore, the

respondent police has wrongly represented that the petitioner has not

complied with the conditions.
