He is stated to be involved in fifteen criminal cases of similar offences across different police stations; the State alleged he is a rowdy sheeter likely to tamper with witnesses. Held: in view of misuse of earlier bail, antecedents, age of the case (about eight years old; incident of 2014) and risk that he may again abscond and delay the trial, no grounds were made out; petition dismissed.
