7. From perusal of the bail order passed by the Co-ordate Bench of this Court, it appears that the bail was granted to that co-accused only on the ground that he had no criminal antecedent.
8. Considering the above facts the materials available on record, I am not inclined to reconsider the prayer for grant of bail to the applicant once again. Accordingly, his prayer for grant of bail is hereby, rejected.
