For the State : Mr. Jharkhandi Upadhayay, A.P.P. -------- 10 20.8.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is in custody in connection with a case registered under sections 147, 148, 149, 448, 307, 386 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code. Allegation against the petitioner is that he put revolver near the temple of informant Sanjay Kumar and demanded Rs. 2, 50000/- by way of extortion. He further snatched Rs. 2000/- from the pocket of the informant and fled away. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that ingredients of section 307 and 386 of the I.P.C. are not made out in this case. That apart the petitioner is in custody since 24.2.2007. Learned counsel for the State submits that criminal antecedent report has been called for by this court which has been received. From perusal of the report it appears that petitioner has a long criminal history and he is accused in six criminal cases under various sections of the Indian Penal Code. Having regard to the aforesaid submission and the criminal antecedent of the petitioner I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at present. The prayer for bail is rejected at this stage. 2 Rahman/ (Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J)
