It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that this case has a checkered history; as the petitioner was given anticipatory bail, he surrendered before the trial Court and was released on bail. Subsequently vide order dated 07.02.2025 in Cr.M.P. No.3382 of 2023, bail granted to the petitioner was cancelled. Thereafter, the petitioner was arrested and he has been in custody since 25.02.2025.

It is lastly submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 25.02.2025 as is evident from para-10 of the instant bail application. Hence it is submitted that the petitioner be released on bail. Learned Addl. P.P. appearing for the State and the learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the petitioner is not cooperating with the trial. It is then submitted that petitioner did not appear in this court in Cr.M.P No.3382 of 2023, in spite of notice and even after cancellation of his bail, he also did not voluntarily surrender before the trial court rather he was trying to evade his appearance before the trial court and ultimately he was arrested by police and very produced before the trial court. It is further submitted that there is every chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with evidence, if released on bail. It is therefore submitted that the petitioner ought not be released on bail. Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner and his past conduct, as well as the chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with evidence, if released on bail, this Court is not inclined to admit the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the above-named petitioner is rejected. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) Abhiraj/
