Petitioner's earlier application for anticipatory bail filed as B.A. 7124/06 was dismissed on 1-12-2006. According to the petitioner, the matter has been squared up by the de facto complainant who has no subsisting grievance and the de facto complainant has filed an affidavit to that effect marked as Annexure A. That is not a circumstance to justify the grant of anticipatory bail. There is no reason why the petitioner should not seek regular bail from the Magistrate concerned. If the petitioner surrenders before the Magistrate and files an application for regular bail within two weeks from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of preferably on the same date on which it is filed after considering the petitioner's contention that the matter has been settled between the parties and the de facto complainant has no subsisting grievance in the matter. With the above observation, This application is, dismissed. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. ani.
