3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is regularly appearing before the trial Court and the abscondance of the petitioner is false and only for the reason that the petitioner is having 27 previous cases, the respondent police arrested him. Hence, he prays for grant of bail.

4. The learned Government Advocate would submit that the petitioner is having 27 previous cases which are all similar in nature. If the petitioner is released on bail, there may be chances that he will again abscond and thereby, the entire trial proceedings will be affected.
