Sri Darshan Etc. 2025 INSC 979 Hon’ble Supreme Court has referred criminal antecedents as one of the grounds not to grant bail to accused therefore considering the criminal antecedent and regular involvement of accused in identical nature of cases, it is not a fit case to enlarge petitioner on bail. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. Accordingly, the application for bail filed under Section 483 of BNSS preferred by Dharmendra S/o Harilal, is hereby dismissed. (ASHOK KUMAR JAIN),J PREETI VALECHA /74
