ORDER

06.05.2022 02.

1.

This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.

2.

The Petitioners apprehending their arrest in Nandipada P.S. Case No.48 of 2019 registered for alleged commission of offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 294, 307, 354, 379, 506 and 149 of the I.P.C., have filed this petition for their release on pre-arrest bail.

3.

Heard the learned counsel for the Petitioners and the learned counsel for the State.

4.

It appears that the Petitioners had earlier approached this Court in ABLAPL No.6217 of 2020, which was dismissed on merit vide order dated 14th August, 2020.

5.

Learned counsel for the Petitioners submits that since cognizance has been taken against the Petitioners and there

// 2 // being change in circumstances, the Petitioners be released on pre-arrest bail.

6.

This Court once rejected the prayer for pre-arrest bail of the Petitioners on merit, there is no occasion to reconsider the same, taking note of the fact that cognizance in the meanwhile having been taken, the same is a change in circumstances. The submission is fallacious.

7.

Hence, this Court is not inclined to entertain the prayer made by the Petitioners.

8.

Accordingly, the prayer for pre-arrest bail of the Petitioners stands rejected and the ABLAPL is disposed of being dismissed.
