Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.36073 of 2018 (5) dt.09-10-2018 in Cr. Misc. No. 17.05.2018 Learned counsel for the State opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that the petitioner has criminal antecedent as he is accused in seven other cases and most of them are similar in nature as the present one.

Having heard both sides, considering the fact and circumstances of the case as well as the criminal antecedents of the petitioner, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail, This application is, accordingly, rejected.

However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) sunil/- U T
