The case of the prosecution is that the petitions along with other persons threatened the de facto complainant to extort money. Hence, the complaint. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that there was an agreement between the de facto complainant and this petitioner to sell the property belongs to the de facto complainant and in this connection, the de facto complainant agreed to pay Rs.30,00,000/- as commission in furtherance of their oral agreement. The petitioner arranged purchaser and the property has been sold. However, the de facto complainant did not comply with the promise and when the petitioner demanded his commission, the de faco complainant has given false complaint. Hence, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 4. At this juncture, the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) submitted that the petitioner is a rowdy and has five previous cases and demands maamool. Further, it is the submission of the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side), that the petitioner used to demand money if any property is sold in that locality.

I have given anxious consideration to the submissions made by the learned counsel on either side. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and having considered the submission made by the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) and from the fact that the petitioner has five previous cases and the conduct of intimidating the de facto complainant for sake of commission, this Court is of the view that he is not entitled to get anticipatory bail as he misused the liberty granted by this Court through bail in previous cases. Hence, this Court is of a firm view that the petitioner is not deserved to be enlarged on anticipatory bail. 7. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. 02-04-2026 SHL To: 1.
