Thereafter offence is registered against the Applicant. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that this is the second anticipatory bail application on behalf of the applicant. The first anticipatory bail application was rejected on the ground that the applicant had criminal antecedents of 10 cases and he had not explained the same. He would submit that now he has explained the criminal antecedents and two cases are pending and rest are decided. He would submit two co-accused persons namely Narendra Kumar Parja has been granted anticipatory bail in MCRCA No.69/2025 on 15/01/2025 and Mahesh Kumar Sidar has been granted anticipatory bail in MCRCA No. 1131/2024 on 3/10/2024. He would further submit that the matter has been compromised between the applicant and the complainant/injured, therefore, he submits that the present applicant is entitled to be released on anticipatory bail. 3 5. On the other hand, learned State counsel, appearing for the non - applicant/State as also learned counsel for the objector opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail. 6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 7. From perusal of the records, it transpires that this is the second anticipatory bail application of the applicant. The first anticipatory bail application was rejected on 31/01/2025 vide MCRCA No. 168/2025 on the ground that the applicant had 10 criminal antecedents and he had not explained the same.
