Supreme Court: Filing Of Fresh Bail Application After Rejection Of Earlier Bail Plea Or Cancellation Of Bail Is A Matter Of Right

 The earlier bail application of the appellant was allowed by the High Court vide order dated 03.10.2023. However, the said order was set aside by this Court. Thereafter, the appellant applied afresh for bail before the High Court and the said application was rejected solely on the ground that Supreme Court of India while canceling the bail granted by the High Court, had not given any liberty to the appellant to file a fresh bail application.

{Para 3}

4. There is no prohibition in filing a fresh bail application after the earlier was rejected or cancelled, if granted. This Court in canceling the bail application has not taken away the right of the appellant to apply for bail afresh, if the circumstances permit.

5. Filing of a fresh bail application, once an earlier bail application has been rejected or if granted and thereafter cancelled is a matter of right and solely on the ground that the Apex Court had not permitted filing of the fresh bail application, the High Court was not justified in dismissing the bail application.

Supreme Court: Grant Of Bail Must Be Subject To Embargo In Special Enactments : Supreme Court Sets Aside Bail Of MCOCA Accused

As per Section 21(4) of the MCOCA, bail cannot be granted unless the Court is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the accused is not guilty of such offence and that he is not likely to commit any offence while on bail.

“..it is a fact that the impugned order did not reflect such consideration as has been required in respect of matter involving offences under MCOCA in terms of the provisions thereunder as also the decisions rendered by this Court in respect of grant of bail. When there is an embargo put in by a specific provision under a special enactment in the matter of grant of bail in respect of offences allegedly committed thereunder, the power to grant bail should necessarily be subject to satisfaction of the conditions mentioned in such specific provision. In the case on hand, such a specific provision is contained under Section 21(4) of the MCOCA.”, the court observed.
