On these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be provided to the petitioner. 4. Learned counsel for the State opposed the prayer and submits that even the petitioner is having criminal antecedent. 5. It transpires that the petitioner is named in the FIR and there is direct allegation against him that he used to demand levy from the informant and assaulted the informant by entering into the office of Hassan Seikh and the informant has sustained injury over his head. It also transpires that the petitioner is having criminal antecedent and in the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner and, as such, his prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. 6. Accordingly, this application is dismissed. (Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi, J.) Ajay/
