5. Learned A.P.P. for the State, Mr. Chandra Bhushan Prasad, opposes the bail application of the petitioner and submits that petitioner had earlier moved this Court seeking anticipatory bail by filing Criminal Miscellaneous No. 7181 of 2026 and the petitioner was granted the privilege of provisional anticipatory bail by an order dated 19.02.2026, with a direction to the learned Trial Court to verify his criminal antecedent, but then it is submitted that it appears that petitioner in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 7181 of 2026 has disclosed that he had antecedent of five cases when he had antecedent of eight cases, as such had not approached the Court while seeking anticipatory bail with clean hands, it is thus submitted that if privilege of bail is granted, the petitioner may abscond.
