The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner has way laid the complainant and threatened him with knife and robbed an amount of Rs.2,250/- and phone. Hence, the complaint. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that this is the second application for bail and that the petitioner is an innocent person and he has been falsely implicated in this case. He would submit that the other accused have been enlarged on bail. Hence, he prays to grant bail to the petitioner. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent would submit that there are three previous cases pending against the petitioner and that there is no change of circumstances. Hence, he vehemently opposed to grant bail to the petitioner.

Taking into consideration the facts and submissions made by the learned counsels, considering the fact that this Court had very recently dismissed the bail application filed by the petitioner in Crl.O.P.No.12273 of 2020 on 14.08.2020 and considering the fact that there is no change of circumstance, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner for the present. Hence, this Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed for the present. -sd/- 28/08/2020 This order, on being produced, be punctually observed and carried into execution by all concerned TRUE COPY Sub-Assistant Registrar (Statistics/C.S.)
