The list submitted by prosecution indicate that 55 criminal cases were registered against present petitioner and mostly relating to dacoity. The report submitted by the prosecution indicate that the present petitioner is an active member of Jagan Gurjar (Dacoit) Gang having substantial presence in the area in committing crime to influence and create terror the minds of the people and sufficient to indicate them about consequence in case deposed against the petitioner. 8. In case of the State of Karnataka vs Sri Darshan Etc. : 2025 INSC 979, Hon’ble Supreme Court has considered various factors required consideration before granting bail and one of them is criminal antecedents and chances to influence the evidence of prosecution. 9. Here in this case, the present petitioner accused is not only named but his role and involvement is also evident from participation in the gang activity. The criminal antecedents against the petitioner is again a factor for consideration of this Court. [2025:RJ-JP:39311] (4 of 4) [CRLMB-6999/2025] 10. The facts and the material indicate that the alleged offence are of serious nature and role attributed to applicant is prima facie sufficient to consider complicity of applicant in the crime. Therefore, at this juncture, considering the evidence collected so far, this is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant accused on bail. 11. Considering the gravity of allegations and overall facts and circumstances of the case, it is appropriate to dismiss the bail application of the applicant accused at this stage. 12. Accordingly, the application for bail filed under Section 483 of BNSS preferred by he applicant-accused Pappu @ Jadnar S/o Shivcharan is hereby dismissed. (ASHOK KUMAR JAIN),J MR/79
