Solicitor General of India Mr. Sudip Kumar Paul ... ... for the State

1. Heard the learned Advocates appearing for both the parties.

2. We have considered the materials on record. Prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner was turned down by a coordinate Bench of this court. Petitioner strenuously argues that he has renewed his prayer after filing of police report. Filing of police report is an aggravating and not an extenuating circumstance. Under these circumstances, we are of the opinion no case for revisiting the issue arises.

3. Hence, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner stands rejected.
