was registered in the year 2010 and there is no plausible explanation as to why petitioner moved this Court for grant of pre-arrest bail after lapse of more than 14 years in the year 2025. The present application is highly belated and it appears that the petitioner has got no reasonable apprehension of his arrest in the case.

¶17

Considering the gross unexplained delay in moving this pre-arrest bail application, prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner is rejected.
