2. The allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was found 1/4

to be involved in illegal transportation of 3 units of river sand without any valid licence or permit. Hence, the case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is innocent and he has not committed any such offence as alleged by the defacto complainant and he has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submitted that he is ready to abide by any stringent condition that may be imposed by this Court and he is ready to co-operate for investigation. Hence, he prays to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police reiterated the prosecution case and, upon instructions, submitted that the petitioner is having six previous cases registered against him out of which two cases are similar in nature. Hence, he strongly opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

5. Heard the submissions made by the learned counsel on either side and also perused the materials available on record.

6. From the submissions made by the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) the petitioner has got six previous cases out of which two cases are 2/4

similar offences, which clearly demonstrate that as and when he was enlarged on bail, he misused the liberty granted. In view of the above, it become inexorable to dismiss the present petition, as the petitioner does not deserve anticipatory bail.

7. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed. 11.03.2026 ssi To:
