CRM-M-3390-2022(O&M) -2On the other hand, while opposing the prayer for grant of regular bail to the petitioner, learned State counsel submits that the petitioner is a habitual offender having criminal antecedents, inasmuch as, apart from the present FIR, two more FIRs of similar nature have been registered against him and that too within a period of six months i.e. from May, 2021 till October, 2021.
I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. The allegation against the petitioner are specific, direct and serious in nature. Moreover, as noticed above, pendency of 02 more FIRs of similar nature, speaks volumes about the conduct of the petitioner, who is a habitual offender. Therefore, possibility of the petitioner, indulging himself in similar crime, if enlarged on bail, cannot be ruled out.
In view of the above, no ground is made out to grant the concession of regular bail to the petitioner. Dismissed.
