The petitioner who apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the alleged offence under Sections 406 & 420 IPC in Crime No.613 of 2018, on the file of the respondent police, seeks anticipatory bail.

2.When the matter is taken up, the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) submitted that petitioner was already granted anticipatory bail in Crl.M.P.No.4457 of 2019, on 17.09.2019, by the Principal District and Sessions Judge, Tiruvallur. It is seen from the order that there was a direction to the petitioner to deposit 50% of the amount, i.e., 2,50,000/- before the concerned learned Judicial Magistrate to the credit of Crime No.613 of 2018, along with other conditions. However, petitioner has not complied with the conditions and filed this petition for the same relief of anticipatory bail. Thus, he prayed for dismissal of the petition.

3.In the said circumstances stated by the learned Government

Advocate (Crl.Side) it is clear that despite having an anticipatory bail order in his favour and having not complied with the conditions imposed thereon, petitioner has again approached this Court for the same relief without informing this Court about the earlier grant of anticipatory bail order. Thus, it appears that suppressing the material fact that anticipatory bail was already granted in favour of the petitioner, this petition is filed by the petitioner. Therefore, this petition is liable to be dismissed with all the contempt it deserves.

4.Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. 31.07.2023 sli
