He further submitted that the Petitioner does not have any criminal antecedents and he belongs to the locality, therefore, there is no chance of his absconding. 5. Considering the nature of allegation, gravity of offence and the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant pre-arrest bail to the Petitioner. However, it is directed that in the event the Petitioner surrenders before the Court in seisin over the matter within a period of four weeks from today and moves an application for bail, the Court in seisin over the matter shall release him on bail in connection with the aforesaid case on such terms and conditions as it may deem just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case, but subject to verification of criminal antecedent of the Petitioner. In the event, it is found that the Petitioner is having any criminal antecedents, then this order stands automatically revoked. Violation of any of the terms and conditions shall entail cancellation of bail. 6. Accordingly, the ABLAPL is disposed of. Urgent certified copy of this order be granted on proper application.
