Repetitive filing of applications amounts to
abuse of process of law. This application is filed in
spite of the order passed by this Court categorically
stating that no further application for extension of
interim bail shall be entertained. It is no more res
integra that petitions/applications filed repeatedly are
liable to be dismissed with exemplary costs. Therefore,
we dismiss this application with costs of Rs.25,000/-.

UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following
I.A. NO. 88633/2020 IN SLP(CRL)NO. 618/2020
The petitioner has been granted bail for a
period of two months on 15.06.2020 on the ground that his
mother was seriously ill. Later, he filed an application
for extension of interim bail for a further period of six
months on the ground that his mother passed away and he
had to perform certain rituals. It was also brought to
the notice of this Court that his wife was suffering from
serious ailments.
On 10.08.2020, this Court extended the interim
bail granted on 15.06.2020 for a further period of one
month and directed the petitioner to surrender on or
before 15.09.2020. It was made clear that no application
for extension of interim bail shall be entertained. We
gave liberty to the petitioner to file an application for
bail if the Special Leave Petitions are not finally
heard, within a period of six months.
This application is filed for extension of bail
on the ground that the petitioner is suffering from
epididymitis which is an inflammation of the tube at the
back of the testicle. Mr. K.V.Viswanathan, learned
senior counsel for the petitioner submitted that unless
properly treated, epididymitis can lead to
complications. He also submitted that the number of
Covid-19 patients in jail is increasing.
Repetitive filing of applications amounts to
abuse of process of law. This application is filed in
spite of the order passed by this Court categorically
stating that no further application for extension of
interim bail shall be entertained. It is no more res
integra that petitions/applications filed repeatedly are
liable to be dismissed with exemplary costs. Therefore,
we dismiss this application with costs of Rs.25,000/-.
Needless to mention that appropriate medical care
will be provided to the Petitioner.
