Holding
The application for restoration of the anticipatory bail order is rejected.
Summary
The petitioner, Anil Kumar Singh, filed a criminal miscellaneous petition seeking anticipatory bail and obtained an interim order of no coercive steps. He subsequently sought multiple adjournments and failed to appear before the court, leading to the dismissal of the original bail petition on 20-11-2025. The petitioner then filed another petition (Cr. Misc. No. 90803 of 2025) requesting restoration of the earlier order, alleging misuse of the privilege. The court observed that the petitioner had repeatedly misused the protection granted and that no counsel appeared on his behalf. Consequently, the court rejected the restoration application and directed the Superintendent of Police to produce the petitioner after arrest. The order effectively dismisses the petition and reaffirms the earlier dismissal.
Issues considered
- Whether the order granting anticipatory bail and no coercive steps can be restored after the petitioner’s non‑appearance and alleged misuse of the privilege.
Subjects
- anticipatory bail
- restoration of order
- non‑prosecution
- misuse of privilege
- criminal miscellaneous petition
