2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner waylaid the defacto

complainant and robbed a sum of Rs.900/- at knife point and also made criminal

intimidation against him. Hence, the present case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is

under judicial custody since 06.04.2026. He further submitted that the petitioner

is an innocent person and he has not committed any offence as alleged by the

prosecution. Therefore, he prayed to grant bail to the petitioner.

4.The learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) reiterated the

prosecution case and submitted that the petitioner has seven previous cases and

in those cases, petitioner is on bail. Hence, he vehemently opposed the grant of

bail to the petitioner.

5. Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.

6.Considering the rival submissions made on either side, the nature of the

offences charged against the petitioner, and the magnitude of amount involved

in this case and also the fact that though the petitioner has previous case, he has

been enlarged on bail in those cases, and considering the period of incarceration

undergone by him, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, subject to
