The petitioner, who was arrested and remanded to judicial custody on 13.06.2022 for the offences punishable under Sections 392, 506(ii) of IPC in crime No.299 of 2022 on the file of the respondent police, seeks bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner along with some others on 13.06.2022, waylaid the defacto complainant and robbed Rs.500/- at knife point and also abused in filthy language. Hence, the case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is an innocent person and he has been falsely implicated in this case. Hence, he seeks for grant of bail of the petitioner.

4. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that the petitioner is having 18 previous cases and he is a habitual offender. Hence, he vehemently opposed to grant bail to the petitioner.
