However, these circumstances cannot outweigh the gravity of the allegations levelled against the Petitioner at present. The Petitioner can renew his application in the month of October two weeks before delivery of his wife. 4. The Hon’ble Apex Court in G.R. Ananda Babu v. State of Tamil Nadu1 at para No.6 held as under: “6…As a matter of fact, successive anticipatory bail applications ought not to be entertained and more so, when the case diary and the status report, clearly indicated that the accused (Respondent 2) is absconding and not cooperating with the investigation. The specious reason of change in circumstances cannot be invoked for successive anticipatory bail applications, once it is rejected by a speaking order and that too by the same Judge.” 1 (2021) 16 SCC 725 3 Dr.YLR, J Crl.P.No.6106 of 2026 Dated 07.08.2026 5.
