For the Petitioner/s :

2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in Chakand P.S. Case No. 377 of 2023 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 467, 468, 471, 420, 406/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
3. This is the second attempt of the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail. Earlier by this Court vide order dated 21.10.2024 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 67753 of 2024, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner was dismissed as withdrawn. At this moment, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that earlier inadvertently a wrong statement was made before this Court, as the petitioner was arrested in another case.
4. In such view of the matter and considering the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.6854 of 2025(2) dt.14-02-2025 2/2 judgment of Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Ananda Babu vs. State of Tamil Nadu and Another reported in 2021 SCC online SC 176, whereby the Court has held that the second anticipatory bail application is not maintainable, I am not inclined to entertain his prayer once again.
5. Accordingly, this application is dismissed.
6. However, if the petitioner surrenders before the learned Court below within six weeks from today and seeks regular bail, the learned Court below would pass order on the same day in accordance with law without being prejudiced by this order.
