6. Per contra, learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the anticipatory bail application.
7. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and also taking into consideration the fact that no new ground is there for pressing the instant anticipatory bail application, I do not find it a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail to the applicant.
