acquitted in one case, but in other case, he is on bail and, thereby, such criminal antecedents would not stand in the way of grant bail to the Petitioner. It is also submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that the Petitioner has been granted interim bail, but he has never misused the liberty so granted to him and he voluntarily surrendered to the custody after availing the interim bail and, therefore, the Petitioner may kindly be released on bail.
