Perused the first information report annexed to the anticipatory bail application.

Learned counsel for the State submitted that one Mithu Mahanandia is the injured in this case and he has sustained simple injury, however petitioner no.1 has got five numbers of criminal antecedents.

Learned counsel for the petitioner no.1 submitted that in all those cases, petitioner no.1 is on bail.
