The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail has already been rejected on merit vide order dated 20.09.2017 in A.B.A. No.1474 of 2017 and again the same was dismissed because of non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 11.09.2018 in A.B.A. No.4794 of 2018 and this is the third journey of the petitioner for the prayer of anticipatory bail. It is further submitted that the only fresh ground is that the co-accused persons have been given the privilege of anticipatory bail vide order dated 17.07.2019 in A.B.A. No.3385 of 2019 consequent upon their undertaking to jointly pay Rs.2,00,000/- as ad interim victim compensation to the informant.
