Parvesh Mann @ Sagar v. State (Nct of Delhi)
Case brief
What is this about?
The petitioner sought regular bail under Sections 302/34/120B IPC and the Arms Act. The High Court of Delhi dismissed the bail application and the accompanying transfer application. The court held that the petitioner had previously had three bail applications dismissed by the bench of HMJ Saurabh Banerjee, including one for regular bail. Counsel for the petitioner concealed these facts while requesting a transfer of the current application to the current bench. The court deprecated this conduct as forum shopping and dismissed the applications.
What did the court decide?
Bail application and accompanying transfer application dismissed due to concealment of prior dismissals and forum shopping.
