statement is made in paragraph no.15 of the petition. She also submits that on the basis of compromise the second anticipatory bail petition was filed before the learned Sessions Judge however that was withdrawn in view of the fact that it has been orally observed by the learned Sessions Judge on second ABP petition he will not entertain the same as he has already rejected the anticipatory bail of the petitioner earlier and the order passed in first ABP is subject matter in the present ABA application.
