M.Thanis Xavier Anandan v. Karthick
Case brief
What is this about?
Madras High Court, K. Rajasekar J., Crl.O.P.No.19047 of 2025, decided 09.12.2025. Petitioner M.Thanis Xavier Anandan sought cancellation of bail granted to respondent Karthick in Crime No.97 of 2024 (CCB Avadi Police Station) under Section 483(3) BNSS Act, 2023. Petition dismissed because an earlier cancellation petition (Crl.MP.No.165 of 2025) on the same bail order (Crl.MP.No.3528 of 2024, dated 19.10.2024, Judicial Magistrate No.I, Poonamallee) had already been considered on merits and dismissed; a fresh cancellation petition before this Court is not permissible. Keywords: cancellation of bail, fresh petition, bar, BNSS Section 483(3), Vellavedu Police Station complaint.
What did the court decide?
Since the prayer for cancellation of bail had already been considered on merits and dismissed by the concerned Judicial Magistrate, it is not permissible to once again seek cancellation of the very same bail order before this Court.
