Holding
The court upheld its earlier order and denied bail to the petitioner.
Summary
The petitioner, Amarkant Kumar, sought regular bail for an alleged cheating case involving Rs. 46 lakh against a self‑help group, charged under IPC sections 406, 420, 467, 468 and 34. The petition is the second attempt after a prior bail application was rejected on 16‑09‑2025. The prosecution contended that the offence involved a large amount of money, justifying continued custody. The court examined whether there were any fresh grounds to revisit its earlier order. Finding none, the court held that the earlier decision stands. Consequently, the bail application was dismissed and the petitioner remains in custody.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner is entitled to regular bail in a case involving cheating of Rs. 46 lakh under IPC sections 406, 420, 467, 468 and 34.
- Whether the earlier order denying bail can be reviewed on the second application.
