Earlier, this Court vide order dated 04.12.2025 in Crl.O.P.No.33220 of 2025 dismissed the petitioner’s anticipatory bail petition for the following reasons: “ ….. Considering the fact that the petitioner was involved in illegally quarrying sand from the lake and also damage the water body. Hence, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner and if the petitioner is granted bail, he will involve in similar activities. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed ”. 3.
