JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR DWIVEDI --- For the Petitioner :- Mr. Sabyasanchi, Advocate :- Mr. Rakesh Kumar III, Advocate For the State :- Mr. Shiv Shankar Kumar, Advocate ---- 04/03.02.2026 Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner as well as the learned counsel appearing for the State. 2.

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has earlier moved twice before this Court in ABA Nos.5891 of 2024 and 4755 of 2025. He further submits that both the anticipatory bail applications have been dismissed as withdrawn and thereafter the petitioner has filed fresh anticipatory bail before the learned Sessions Judge and the learned Sessions Judge has 2026:JHHC:2738 --2-- A.B.A. No. 542 of 2026 been pleased to reject the said anticipatory bail. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer and submits that twice anticipatory bail application of the petitioner has been rejected and there is no fresh ground to entertain the third one. 5. Considering that there is no fresh ground to entertain third anticipatory bail application and further twice anticipatory bail application of the petitioner has been dismissed as withdrawn, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, as such the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected. However, if the petitioner moves before the learned Court by way of filing regular bail application, the learned Court will decide the same in accordance with law without prejudice to this order.
