Hence, the case. 3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is an innocent and he has been falsely implicated in the present case and that he has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution.

From the submissions made by the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side), it is seen that the petitioner has got four previous cases, which clearly demonstrates that whenever he was granted anticipatory bail by the Courts, he has misused the liberty granted to him. In view of the same, if the petitioner is enlarged on anticipatory bail, he may be emboldened to indulge in similar offences in future without fear of law. Hence, taking into consideration of interest of the society at large, this Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. 7.Accordingly, this criminal original petition stands dismissed. 28-07-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No NR To: 1.
