Admittedly, the learned State Counsel has brought to the notice of the Court that the petitioner is having 08 criminal antecedents, out of which, 02 are of similar nature, but the petitioner has not disclosed his antecedents in his bail application which is considered to be a material suppression.

Xxx xxx xxx, since the petitioner has suppressed material facts with regard to his involvement in criminal cases, he is not entitled to the discretionary relief of bail. Xxx xxx xxx”. 5. In view of the aforesaid facts and on consideration of materials placed on record together with the criminal antecedent of the petitioner and taking into account the suppression of facts by the petitioner, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. 6. Hence, the bail application of the petitioner stands rejected. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. A copy of this order be immediately transmitted to the learned Court in seisin over the matter. (G. Satapathy) Judge kishore
