What has been stated in the petition, those grounds were already present when the first anticipatory bail application was dismissed as withdrawn. 5. Considering that earlier anticipatory bail application of the petitioners was dismissed as withdrawn and in spite of filing regular bail application, second anticipatory bail application has been filed and no new ground has been mentioned in the second anticipatory bail application and in that view of the matter, instant anticipatory bail application is rejected.
