The petitioner is in custody in a Police case under Sections 385, 387 of the Penal Code for having made a ransom call from a mobile phone stated to belong to co-accused, Madan Yadav, who has been granted bail in Cr. Misc. no. 4666 of 2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner is unable to inform this Court of the period of custody of Madan yadav. Counsel for the State points out that the petitioner has antecedents of about 12 cases. The prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected with the observation that any application for regular bail on his behalf shall be considered in light of the period of custody undergone by co-accused Madan Yadav to accord similar treatment to the petitioner. The antecedents of the petitioner shall be a very relevant consideration while fixing the conditions for bail by the court below. AKS/ ( Navin Sinha, J.)
