When this application is called out for hearing, the learned APP points out that this is the fourth anticipatory bail application filed by the applicant before this Court.

It is unfortunate that the applicant has filed application after application seeking anticipatory bail despite the fact that the first such application was dismissed on merits by this Court by an order dated 21.04.2023 and subsequently, two such anticipatory bail applications were dismissed as withdrawn.

7.

It is to be noted that the Sessions Court had already dismissed anticipatory bail application of the applicant by a reasoned order on 05.04.2023. Filing of this fourth anticipatory bail application is clearly an abuse of the process of the Court and on this ground alone, the application is dismissed.
