2. The petitioner was granted anticipatory bail by this Court in Crl.O.P.(MD)No.7734 of 2021, on 16.07.2021. Originally, a case has been registered against this petitioner on the file of Narikudi Police Station. But, the petition for anticipatory bail was filed as if the case is pending on the file of Thiruchuli Police Station. The learned Government Advocate, who defended the State, has also failed to inform the same that there is no case as against this petitioner in Thiruchuli Police Station. Further, the materials available on record would show that this petitioner is having seven previous cases. But, those materials have not been placed before this Court. This Court, based on the wrong information given by the learned Government Advocate, granted anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

3. Once a petition for anticipatory bail is filed, it is the duty of the law officers to verify all the details mentioned by the petitioner in the petition and give the correct particulars to the Court while entertaining the petition. But, in this case, it has not been done so. After getting anticipatory bail, the amendment cannot be done. Therefore, this petition is not maintainable. Accordingly, the Criminal Miscellaneous Petition is dismissed. Liberty is granted to the petitioner to file a fresh petition. sd/- 12/08/2021 / TRUE COPY / / /2021 Sub-Assistant Registrar (C.S.)
