3.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the opposite party no.2 from the very inception, has played fraud with the informant. He further submits that opposite party no.2 has misled the Court and even after the undertaking placed before the Court, opposite party no.2 has not complied the said order by refund of payment of Rs.15 Lakhs. On these grounds, he submits the anticipatory bail granted to opposite party no.2 may kindly be cancelled.

5. Vide order dated 27.08.2025, A.B.A. No.4807 of 2025 was allowed, whereby, opposite party no.2 was provided privilege of anticipatory bail. In the said order, it has been recorded that the dispute is of civil nature and the accused has offered to make payment of Rs.15 Lakhs to the informant, however, he has refused to accept the same and considering all these aspects of the matter, anticipatory bail was provided to opposite party no.2. There is cogent reason in allowing the anticipatory bail to opposite party no.2.
6. It is well-known that in a routine manner, once the bail granted cannot be cancelled unless cogent reason is shown to cancel the bail order.
7. In that view of the matter, I am not inclined to cancel anticipatory bail granted to the accused-opposite party no.2 and, accordingly, this criminal miscellaneous petition is dismissed.
