Allahabad High Court
VIRENDRAversusSTATE OF U.P.
- Decided
Holding
The court dismissed the third anticipatory bail application, holding that no fresh ground existed to merit granting bail and the application was dismissed for want of prosecution.
Summary
The applicant, Virendra, filed a third anticipatory bail application in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 53880 of 2019, seeking release on bail if arrested in a case (Crime No. 803 of 2017) under Sections 304 and 504 of the Indian Penal Code. The application was filed before the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, with counsel Rohit Nandan Pandey and Sanjeev Kumar Pandey representing the applicant, and G.A. representing the State. The court noted that two earlier anticipatory bail applications by the same applicant had already been rejected on merits. Considering the repeated nature of the applications and the lack of any new material, the court dismissed the present application for want of prosecution. The dismissal effectively denies anticipatory bail to the applicant in the pending criminal proceedings.
Issues considered
- Whether anticipatory bail can be granted in the present case under Sections 304 and 504 IPC
- Whether a third anticipatory bail application can be entertained after two prior rejections
