abduct the defacto complainant due to previous enmity and also threatened him with dire consequences. However, during the occurrence, A2 was arrested in this case and the other accused ran away from there. Hence, a case has been registered.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner's anticipatory bail application was earlier dismissed as early as on 01.09.2025 and that the petitioner has falsely implicated in this case and that the petitioner is not directly involved in the said occurrence He further submitted that he is ready to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court and ready to co-operate with investigation. Hence, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police reiterated the prosecution case and, upon instructions, submitted that this is the second anticipatory bail application and that the earlier anticipatory bail application was dismissed by this Court in Crl.O.P.No.23777 of 2025 dated 01.09.2025.

2/4

5. Though one previous case registered against the petitioner, considering the fact that it is a case of attempt to abduct the defacto complainant and also already arrested accused in this case subsequently released on bail, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, subject to certain conditions.
