Therefore, there is no material or substantial change in circumstance so as to entertain the second application for anticipatory bail.

Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is rejected.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance of requisite formalities.
