P.P. appearing for the State vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submits that keeping in view the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner as well as his criminal antecedent and the fact that the petitioner has been identified in Test Identification Parade, there is every chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with the evidence if released on bail.
