Central Bureau of Investigation and another in SLP (Crl.) No.5191 of 2021 and p. 2 even if the petitioner is having antecedent, such compliance is necessary. 4. Recorded the submission of the State. 5. Though this Court is not inclined to reconsider the pre- arrest bail in view of the order in ABLAPL dated 7th November, 2025, this Court is of the view that there is need for compliance of the decisions (supra) by the local police in connection with Rambha P.S. Case No.669 of 2024 corresponding to G.R. Case No. 2080 of 2024 pending in the file of learned J.M.F.C., Khallikote. 6.
