2. The case of the prosecution is that the accused persons assaulted the de-facto complainant and robbed Rs.4,000/- money and a mobile phone. Hence, the case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners are innocent persons and they have been falsely implicated in this case. Hence, he seeks for grant of bail to the petitioners.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.side) appearing for the respondent submitted that there are totally eight accused, in which the petitioners are arrayed as A2 & A3. The de-facto complainant purchased lottery and A2 refused to pay the prize money to the de-facto complainant,

wherein there was a wordy quarrel. Thereafter, the petitioners and other accused persons went to the place of the de-facto complainant and after assaulting, robbed Rs.4,000/- and a mobile phone and also one sovereign gold jewel. He would further submit that the A2 is having 10 previous cases of similar nature. Hence, he vehemently opposed for grant of bail to the petitioners.

5. Considering the bad antecedents of the petitioners, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, this criminal original petition is dismissed.
