He would further submit that this is the second application for bail and the earlier application
was dismissed by this Court by order dated 30.11.2021 on the ground that the petitioner has got three previous cases and that A2 has been granted bail by the Sessions Court. He would submit that the petitioner has been suffering incarceration for about 50 days from 22.10.2021 and hence, he would pray for grant of bail to the petitioner.
