Considering the fact that the petitioner has bad antecedents, and taking into account that this is the successive bail petition filed by the petitioner without any change in circumstances after dismissal of the earlier bail petition in Crl.O.P.No.28840 of 2025, this Court is not inclined to grant 2/4
