involved in crimes of similar nature. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that in many of the previous cases, in which he is involved, he has been acquitted.
Taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner has an active role in the commission of the offence and that he has serious criminal antecedents and the apprehension raised by the learned Public Prosecutor that if the petitioner is granted bail there is every chance for threatening and manhandling the witnesses and getting involved in crimes of similar nature, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.
Bail application is accordingly dismissed.
