Summary

He subsequently filed a fresh anticipatory bail application (No. 861 of 2026) during the Court's vacation period. The applicant did not demonstrate any material change in circumstances since the earlier withdrawal. The learned Judge observed that without a change in facts, the Court is not obliged to entertain a fresh application during vacation. Consequently, the application was dismissed.
