This is a subsequent application for anticipatory bail.

2.

Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits victim though minor had a romantic association with the principal accused.

3.

Be that as it may, co-ordinate Bench considered the matter on merits. We do not find any substantial change in circumstance to revisit the prayer for anticipatory bail. It is open to the petitioners to appear before the jurisdictional court and pray for regular bail in accordance with law.

4. Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
