Hence, he prayed for the grant of bail. 4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent, while opposing the grant of bail to the petitioner, reiterated the prosecution case and, on instructions, submitted that the petitioner has six previous cases, three of which are similar in nature. 5.
