The allegation against the petitioner is that he had assaulted Osman Ali and Momi Bora and caused grievous injuries on their person in his attempt to commit murder.

4. Learned Addl.Public Prosecutor and learned counsel appearing for the informant have raised serious objection stating that the petitioner is of aggressive nature. It is also submitted that the petitioner's residence is adjacent to the victim's residence, and the victim is apprehending threats by the petitioner, who may also turn violent. The learned Addl.Public Prosecutor has also raised objection stating that the petitioner has not demonstrated any change of circumstances for a subsequent prayer for anticipatory bail. His earlier prayer was rejected vide order dated 20.07.2026 in connection with AB No.1547 of 2026. 5. I have considered the submissions at the bar with circumspection. I have also scrutinized the case diary. Indeed, there are incriminating material in the case diary against the petitioner. I have considered the submission that the petitioner is willing to abide by any stringent bail conditions, if imposed upon him. It is submitted that the petitioner is willing to co-operate with the remaining part of the investigation. The petitioner is a teacher and he is not a flight risk. It appears that anticipatory bail may be granted to the petitioner although there are incriminating materials against the petitioner subject to certain conditions. 6. Accordingly, the petitioner named above in the event of his arrest shall be enlarged on pre-arrest bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.50,000/- with a suitable Page No.# 3/3
