The petitioner apprehends arrest for the alleged offences under Sections 310 (4) and 132 of BNS Act, in Crime No.149 of 2026 on the file of the respondent police seeks anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that, on 02.05.2026 at 12.30 p.m., when the respondent Police were on routine patrol, they received secret information that a group of eight men armed with knives was hiding near the Kannadapalayam Garbage dump yard. Subsequently, the respondent Police

proceeded to the spot and found the accused persons in possession of knives and chilli powder, planning to rob individuals visiting nearby ATM machines. Hence, the case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submitted that the petitioner is ready to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court and that he is ready to cooperate with the investigation. Hence, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 4.The learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the respondent Police reiterated the prosecution case and submitted that the petitioner has eight previous cases and has been regularly doing similar nature of offences. Hence, he opposed the grant of anticipatory bail. 5.From the submissions made by the learned Government Advocate (Criminal side), it is pellucid that the petitioner has misused the liberty which had been granted by this Court in earlier point of time. Hence, this is not a fit case to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, this Criminal Original petition is dismissed.
