The Hon’ble Apex Court has observed in a catena of cases that an accused cannot be kept in custody for an indefinite period of time, and the bail application can be considered on its own merits even if it is filed repeatedly. It has also been held that every day spent in custody can provide a new cause of action for filing a bail application under certain circumstances. 9    "    A %  "8 "   "  % "  %  8  =   PARVEEN SHARMA 2026.02.24 18:56 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-65547-2025 -4-    "   $   "%    "   %     "  " "8         ""   '  "8"" " "8   "%   %""$  "   %         " % %  "(1 2    8  "$ "   "8    %$"      " " "     "   "$  "$ 8  "$   2         "8"    $    %      $  '   " 8""  "  "8    "  " " ?    /  "   "     "    /      %  8      8   %   $    "           ""8     " "    %"8"" $        " 2  7 " %   B  " 2 B $ %     -       ""8 %"    $             0(+ 1           " #"$"%&'                      PARVEEN SHARMA 2026.02.24 18:56 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
