Taking into consideration the fact and circumstances of the case, 3 submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, allegation levelled against the present applicant and considering the fact that there are seven criminal antecedent registered against the present applicant of similar nature, out of which four cases are pending for their conclusion, it appears that applicant is a habitual offenender and he misused the liberty granted to him earlier thus this Court is of the view that it is not a fit case to release the applicant on bail. 7. Accordingly, the Third bail application of the applicant namely Jogender Kurrey @ Jogi involved in Crime No.361/2025 registered at Police Station- Urga District - Korba (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Sections 296, 351(3), 111(1) ([k) and 25, 27 of Arms Act, is rejected at this stage. 8.
