O R D E R
In the wake of the pandemic Covid-19, the case is taken up through V.C.
No one joins on behalf of the petitioner in this case at the time of call.
Since the earlier prayer for pre-arrest bail of the petitioner was disposed of by this Court vide order dated 05.12.2019 in ABLAPL No.13759 of 2019 giving liberty to the petitioner to surrender and move for bail before the court below, this Court is not inclined to adjourn the matter further.
Accordingly, the present prayer for pre-arrest bail of the petitioner is devoid of merit.
The ABLAPL stands disposed of being dismissed.
