Looking into the contents of the FIR, it transpires that there are general and omnibus allegation against the petitioner and even the injury has not been found on the body of the informant and the co-accused has been granted anticipatory bail by this Court in the aforesaid A.B.A. and further, there is no doubt that criminal antecedent is one of the consideration either ( 2025:JHHC:32241 ) -2- A.B.A. No. 6147 of 2025 for rejecting or allowing the bail application or anticipatory bail application, however, that cannot be sole criterion either for allowing or rejecting the bail application or anticipatory bail application and in the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to provide the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 6. Accordingly, the petitioner, named above, is hereby directed to surrender before the learned court within three weeks from today, and in the event of his surrender/arrest, the petitioner, above named, shall be released on bail, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand), with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Seraikella, in connection with Adityapur P.S.
