JUSTICE S VISHWAJITH SHETTY Digitally signed by DHANALAKSHMI MURTHY Location: HIGH COURTOF KARNATAKA - 2 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010359732026 NC: 2026:KHC:37345 CRL.P No. 7546 of 2026 ORAL ORDER 1. The petitioner is before this Court seeking anticipatory bail in Crime No.40/2025 registered by the Hebbal Police Station, Bangalore, for the offences punishable under Sections 305, 324(5) and 329(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. 2. Perusal of the material on record would go to show that, in the said case, the petitioner was earlier granted anticipatory bail by the jurisdictional Sessions Court in Crl.Misc.No.4671/2025. For the reason that the Police had issued an enquiry notice to him after he was granted anticipatory bail in Crl.Misc.No.4671/2025, he once again approached the jurisdictional Sessions Court in Crl.Misc.No.3138/2026, which has been rightly dismissed by the said Court as not maintainable. 3. Under the circumstances, I do not find any good ground to entertain this petition. Hence, the petition is dismissed. Sd/- (S VISHWAJITH SHETTY) JUDGE HA List No.: 1 Sl No.: 48
