There is no doubt, if the fresh materials are there, second anticipatory bail can be maintained, but in the present case, nothing new has been argued before this court by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner to entertain this second anticipatory bail application and further the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner has already been rejected earlier in A.B.A. No. 1528 of 2026 on merits by this court. 6. In view of the above, no fresh ground is made out to entertain this anticipatory bail application. As such, this petition is dismissed. (Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi, J.) Dated:-22.07.2026 Amitesh/-
