Maintainability of second bail petition during pendency of first petition; CRL.P No. 17634 of 2025; Karnataka High Court, Bengaluru; Shivashankar Amarannavar, J.; Section 439 Cr.PC / Section 483 BNSS; bail; NDPS Act Sections 22(b) and 8(c); Crime No.348/2025 Kodigehalli Police Station Bengaluru; Special Judge (NDPS) Bengaluru CCH-35; earlier Criminal Petition No.17556/2025 pending; petition dismissed as not maintainable; decided 3 February 2026.
What did the court decide?
Since the petitioner had already filed Criminal Petition No.17556/2025 before this Court and it is pending, the present petition is a second petition filed during the pendency of the first petition and is therefore not maintainable. ¶¶24
