petitioner. He has no concern with the alleged liquor. Petitioner is having criminal antecedent of ten cases out of which nine are of similar nature.
5. Learned APP has opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner.
6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the criminal antecedent of the petitioner, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner and, as such, his application for bail is rejected.
7. However, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the learned trial Court and learned trial court is directed to consider the fact of this case that no recovery has been made from the possession of this petitioner rather his name has surfaced in the groups of persons who have managed to flee after seeing the police.
