Apprehending arrest, the petitioner has filed the present petition seeking anticipatory bail.

3. It is seen that, this is the second anticipatory bail petition filed by the petitioner, earlier petitioner's anticipatory bail petition was dismissed by stating the following reasons:

Considering the manner in which the occurrence has taken place and the fact that no amount has been recovered so far, this Court is of the view that if anticipatory bail is granted to the petitioner, there is likelihood of tampering with the investigation. Therefore, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Now, without any change in circumstances, present petition is filed. Hence, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

4. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. 19.02.2026 sma To
