It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that according to the gang chart the applicant is said to have been involved in two criminal cases in which he has already been enlarged on bail by the court concerned.

Criminal history of 12 more cases of applicant have been mentioned in the affidavit filed alongwith bail application and duly explained.The applicant is languishing in jail since 09.09.2019 and in case he is enlarged on bail he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
