He submits that in [ 2026:JHHC:27819] -2- the changed circumstance, the fourth anticipatory bail has been filed before this court, as this petitioner has been made accused in three cases and even in other cases, he has already been provided the privilege of anticipatory bail by the co-ordinate bench. On these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be provided to the petitioner. 4. Learned A.P.P. has opposed the prayer and submits that earlier on two times, the prayer for anticipatory bail of this petitioner were rejected on merits and on third time, the case was dismissed as withdrawn with the liberty to move before the learned court for grant of anticipatory bail on fresh ground.

Earlier the petitioner has moved before this court thrice and for the first time, the prayer for anticipatory bail of this petitioner was rejected on merits and thereafter another application was rejected by this court on merits and on the third time, the same was dismissed as withdrawn with the liberty to move before the learned court on fresh grounds. All the grounds, which have been argued by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner in the present case is already available before this court in deciding the previous anticipatory bail applications. It also transpires that there is no change in the circumstance. 6. In the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
