In course of hearing, it is submitted to the Court that some of the petitioners are having similar antecedents. The further submission is that this Court has allowed bail in respect of few other accused persons involved in the alleged incident, hence, the petitioners should be extended parity. 5. Perused the FIR as at Annexure-1 and it reveals that cattle were being transported in three vehicles intercepted by the local police. 6. Recorded the objection of the State to the effect that some of the accused persons are having criminal antecedents. 7. The bail orders in ABLAPLs vis-à-vis co-accused persons are at Flag-A to Flag-A3. This Court finds that the names of some of the accused persons are named in the FIR. Considering the general allegation against all the accused persons and release of the co-accused persons in the ABLAPLs, this Court is of the view that the petitioners should similarly be directed to surrender before the court concerned for being released on bail instead of pre-arrest bail, as has been demanded by them. 8. Accordingly, it is ordered. 9. In the result, ABLAPLs stand disposed of with the direction as aforesaid. It is further directed that in the event, the petitioners surrender before the court of learned J.M.F.C. (Cog.
