Learned APP however vehemently opposed the prayer

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.12598 of 2022(2) dt.06-05-2022 2/2 for bail and submitted that petitioner has got criminal antecedent of similar nature.

Considering the facts aforesaid and the nature of allegation, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner abovenamed on bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected. However, once charge is framed and trial commences, the petitioner shall be released on bail by the learned trial court on its own satisfaction and on the condition that petitioner will cooperate in disposal of trial and appear before the court, as and when required.

With above observation, the petition stands disposed of.
