For the State :

Md. Nagir Ansari, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MOHIT KUMAR SHAH ORAL ORDER 18-01-2023 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned APP for the State.

The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Parsauni P.S. Case No. 68 of 2020, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 387 and 506/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The allegation is regarding three unknown miscreants having arrived at the grocery shop of the informant on a motorcycle, whereafter they had demanded ransom amount and had threatened of dire consequences, in case the same was not paid.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.21160 of 2022(4) dt.18-01-2023 2/3 The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent, he has been falsely implicated in the present case and he is languishing in custody since 18.2.2021. The learned counsel for the petitioner has further submitted that though the petitioner is an accused in twelve other cases, but he is on bail in all the said cases. It is also submitted that the petitioner has not been identified by the informant.

Per contra, the learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail.

I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and gone through the materials available on record as also gone through the materials available in the case dairy and I find that the petitioner appears to be a veteran criminal, inasmuch as he is an accused in twelve other cases, which in itself is sufficient to deny the privilege of bail to the petitioner. Reference, in this connection, be had to a judgment, rendered by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the of Ash

Under the circumstances, I do not find any merit in the present petition, hence, the same stands dismissed.
