3. It is seen that, earlier this Court dismissed the petitioner's bail petition on 11.11.2025 in Crl.O.P.No.30663 of 2025 by stating the following reasons:

On perusal of the statement of the victims, it is seen that the petitioner had actively participated in the alleged offence. Considering the submissions made by learned counsels on either side, the nature of allegations and at this stage, if the petitioner is released on bail, there is every likelihood of his indulging in similar activities, therefore, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Now, without any change in circumstances, the present petition is filed. Hence, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
