The High Court of Orissa, Cuttack, rejected a bail application under Section 439 Cr.P.C. The petitioner, an accused in a murder case, argued that the charges were omnibus. The court, noting its prior rejection of a similar application for a co-accused, held that prima facie no reason existed to depart from that view.
