2. The earlier criminal original petition in Crl.O.P.No.39614 of 2025 seeking anticipatory bail has been disposed of by this Court by an order dated 31.10.2025 on the following reasons:
“6.Considering the submissions of the learned counsel on either side, the petitioners involved illegally transporting the sand, though no previous case is pending against the petitioners, and this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.”
3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is an innocent and hence, seeks anticipatory bail. Per contra, the learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for the respondent while opposing the anticipatory bail to the petitioner reiterated the prosecution case and submitted that still the case is not investigated.
