The case of the prosecution is that there was previous enmity between the petitioner and the accused, that on 28.04.2026, while the defacto complainant was watching IPL cricket match, the petitioner along with the other accused, abused the defacto complainant in filthy language and criminally intimidated him and attempted to strike with aruval. Hence, the case. 3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that this is the second anticipatory bail petition. He further submitted that the petitioner is ready to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, he prays to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police reiterated the prosecution case and, upon instructions, submitted that the petitioner has seven previous cases against him, and if the petitioner is enlarged on bail it would send a wrong information to the society. Hence, he opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 5. I have given my anxious consideration to either side submissions. 6. While looking at the facts of the case, an earlier anticipatory bail petition was dismissed on 04.06.2026, and even with the present application, https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 19058 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 4 this Court could not find any change in circumstances.
