1. This is the second application for grant of pre-arrest bail.
2. The victim appears through learned Counsel and submits before the Court that the parties were friends and they had personal disagreement, which led her to file the complaint in a state of anger.

3. According to Mr. Chakraborty, the above situation is a changed circumstance and the application for pre-arrest bail is maintainable.
4. Considering such facts, the prayer for pre-arrest bail is allowed.
