At that time, Anish Kumar and other three persons remained with the informant, after a while, started inflicting indiscriminate knife blow to the informant. At that time, one of the miscreants made a phone call to someone and said that they have killed the informant, so you will kill Uttam Kumar and whereafter they left the place thinking that the informant has died.

As the petitioner has a criminal antecedent, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. However, if the petitioner surrenders before the Court below within three weeks from today and prays for regular bail, the Court below will consider the same and pass appropriate order on the same day without being influenced by the order of this Court.
