¶3Learned APP for State, assisted by IO/SI Rajesh Kumar, accepts notice and at the very outset submits that the application deserves to be dismissed solely on the ground that the accused/applicant concealed having earlier filed in this Court and withdrawn bail application bearing No. 3507/2024. On this aspect, learned counsel for accused/applicant expresses ignorance, but also submits that on behalf of accused/applicant, few interim bail applications also had been filed, but the same have not been disclosed in the present application.

¶4At this stage, one of the Law Researchers of this Court has located and produced before me the record extracted from website of this Court, as per which the accused/applicant filed as many as five bail applications including the present one. Those applications and fate thereof have been concealed by the accused/applicant.

¶5Since the accused/applicant has concealed about the previous bail applications, the present application and the accompanying application are dismissed.
