After having heard both sides, I find that the applicant is a history-sheeter with more than a dozen crimes registered against him for very grave offences including 307 and under the NDPS Act. Under the circumstances, the applicant cannot be released on bail. The final report has already been filed

pandemic situation. Hence, the application for bail is
dismissed.
