Pardiwala and Vijay Bishnoi, JJ., set aside the impugned order holding that <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">&#8220;criminal antecedents of Respondent 2 by itself were sufficient for the High Court to deny anticipatory bail&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%; font-weight: bold;\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2025\/07\/28\/supreme-court-on-disclosure-of-criminal-antecedents-by-accused-persons\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"Hyperlink\" style=\"color: #0000ff;\">High Courts must consider incorporating provision in their respective Rules, obligating disclosure of criminal antecedents by accused persons: Supreme Court<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The instant matter the offences alleged against Respondent 2 were under Sections <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561758\" target=\"_blank\">420<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561809\" target=\"_blank\">467<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561810\" target=\"_blank\">468<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561814\" target=\"_blank\">471<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726960\" target=\"_blank\">Penal Code, 1860<\/a> (IPC) and High Court granted with anticipatory bail. The appellant, being the de facto complainant, challenged the High Court&#8217;s order granting anticipatory bail. Despite service of notice, Respondent 2 neither appeared in person nor through counsel to oppose the appeal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court expressed strong disapproval of the High Court&#8217;s approach, observing that it was &#8220;very unfortunate&#8221; that anticipatory bail was granted to an accused against whom 22 FIRs were registered, especially when the High Court had been made aware of these antecedents. Further, the accused was already in judicial custody in another case.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%; font-weight: bold;\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2026\/02\/09\/criminal-antecedents-cannot-be-ignored-in-bail-orissa-hc\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"Hyperlink\" style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Criminal Antecedents Have Societal Impact, Cannot Be Brushed Aside; Orissa HC Denies Bail in Extortion-Arms Act case<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court emphasised the criminal antecedents of the accused, by themselves, were sufficient to deny anticipatory bail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Allowing the appeal, the Court set aside the impugned order of the High Court granting anticipatory bail to Respondent 2.
