Besides, the petitioner-Tina @ Trilochan Behera is having 25 criminal antecedents to his credit, whereas the petitioner-Hare Krishna Pradhan @ Haria @ Harekrushna Pradhan is having 2 criminal antecedents to his credit including one for similar offence. In the aforesaid facts and circumstance and taking into account the nature and gravity of the offences as alleged against the petitioners vis-à-vis the accusations sought to be brought against them and regard being had to the criminal antecedents reported against each of the petitioners, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to any of the petitioners. 5.
