If it is found that there is more than one criminal antecedent of similar nature against the Petitioner, then this bail order shall stand automatically revoked. Similarly, if the injuries caused to the injured are found to be grievous in nature, then also this bail order shall stand automatically revoked.
The Case Diary and Criminal Antecedent Report of the Petitioner as well as the Injury Report be made available to the learned Magistrate for consideration of the bail application of the Petitioner on the date of his surrender.
