Repetitive Pleas, Eluding Process Of Law Doesn't Call For Court's Sympathy': Punjab & Haryana HC Declines Pre-Arrest Bail In Drugs Case

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has refused to grant pre-arrest bail to a person on the grounds that their co-accused had already been granted bail. The Court stated that the applicant’s prolonged absence from legal proceedings and repeated attempts for bail did not merit sympathy. The applicant’s behavior of filing multiple pleas in the case was highlighted as an abuse of the judicial process. The Court emphasized that granting bail should be based on a careful evaluation of the facts, and the applicant’s conduct was not sufficient to justify the relief sought. The ruling reiterates the principle that repeated petitions without substantial grounds do not warrant the Court’s favorable consideration for bail.
