3.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent police would contend that the petitioner at knife point robbed Rs.1,000/- from the defacto complainant's shop and also used filthy languages. The Additional Public Prosecutor would further submit that there are thirteen previous cases against the petitioner and the offences are grave in nature. If the petitioner released on bail, it will affect the investigation and thereby, she strongly opposed to grant bail to the 2/6
