P. C. :

1.

This is second application for bail. The earlier application viz., Criminal Application No. 1062 of 2017 was disposed of vide order dated 9th October 2017. The said order indicates that after arguing the matter for some time and when the Court was not inclined to grant relief, liberty was sought to withdraw the application. Hence, the application was allowed to be withdrawn and dismissed as such.

2.

The learned counsel for the Applicant could not point out any change in circumstances. He tried to submit that the Applicant has good case on merits and the evidence adduced by the prosecution is weak, the identity of Applicant is in doubt. It is noted patilsr 1 / 2

that earlier the Applicant was heard on merits and since the Court was not inclined to grant relief, the application was withdrawn by the Applicant. We do not find any change in circumstances. Hence, the present application is rejected.
