Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
Maintainability of a second/repeat bail petition: where an earlier Criminal Petition (No.10027/2025) by the same accused for bail in the same matter is still pending, a subsequent Criminal Petition No.16400 of 2025 under S.439 CrPC/S.483 BNSS was held not maintainable and dismissed by the Karnataka High Court. Offences: BNS Ss.87, 137(2), 64 and POCSO Ss.4, 17; forum: FTSC-I, District and Sessions Judge, Shikaripura, Shivamogga; bail denied; petitioner Murugesh s/o Malleshappa.
What did the court decide?
Since the petitioner has already filed Criminal Petition No.10027/2025 which is pending before this Court, the present petition is a second petition by the same petitioner and is therefore not maintainable. ¶25
