Allahabad High Court
SALMANversusSTATE OF U.P.
- Decided
Holding
A second anticipatory bail application is dismissed when the earlier application on the same facts has already been rejected.
Summary
The applicant, Salman, filed a second anticipatory bail application in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 7151 of 2020, seeking bail in a case (Crime No. 239 of 2019) involving alleged offences under Sections 452, 354, 354(Ka) and 376D of the Indian Penal Code. The first bail application had already been rejected by the same court on its merits. No counsel appeared for the applicant, while the State's Additional Government Advocate was present. The court noted that this was a repeat application and, having already dismissed the earlier application, found no basis to entertain it. Consequently, the application was dismissed for want of prosecution.
