ORDER

The petitioner, who apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the alleged offences punishable under Sections 303(2), 326(a), 324(4) of BNS Act in Crime No.69 of 2026, seeks anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner, along with other accused, illegally transported Savudu sand using a tractor and trailer. Hence, the complaint.

3.The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that A1 and A2 have already been granted bail and that the petitioner does not find a place in the occurrence. Hence, he seeks anticipatory bail.

4. However, the learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) would strongly oppose the bail application on the ground that the petitioner has three previous cases to his credit. This case pertains to the exploitation of natural resources and, according to the learned Government Advocate, the petitioner has been involved in similar offences earlier.

5. Taking a serious view of the conduct and antecedents of the petitioner, this Court is of the view that he does not deserve anticipatory bail. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. 18-03-2026 MPA
