4. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that the first petitioner is having 28 previous cases and the second petitioner has been arrested and remanded to judicial custody on 09.07.2022.

5. Since the second petitioner has been arrested and remanded to judicial custody, this matter has become infructuous, so far as the second petitioner is concerned.

6. Considering the bad antecedents of the first petitioner, he seems to be a habitual offender. Hence, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the first petitioner.

7. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed as against the first petitioner.
