G. Kawade, Advocate for Applicant Mrs. P. J. Bharad, APP for Respondents/State CORAM :R. M. JOSHI, J. DATE :SEPTEMBER 24, 2026 P. C. : 1. This is second bail application seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with C.R.

First bail application came to be rejected on 18.07.2026 since this Court has shown disinclination to grant relief to present Applicant. 3. Learned Counsel for the Applicant submits that pursuant to the said order, charge-sheet has been filed and, therefore, there is chance in circumstances. It is his submission on the basis of first information report as well as injury certificate that there is no offence made out against the present Applicant. 2026:BHC-AUG:43463 902-ABA-1797-2026.odt 4. Learned APP drew attention of the Court to the fact that after 18.07.2026, there is no further investigation done in the instant case. It is thus her contention that there is no change in circumstance to entertain the application. 5. Perusal of the record indicates that the injury certificate, which forms the part of charge-sheet is dated 13.07.2026. This Court has passed order on 18.07.2026. There is no reason to believe that this certificate was not produced before this Court at that time. In absence of any further investigation being carried out by the investigating agency post order dated 18.07.2026, this Court is of the view that there is no change in circumstance to entertain present second bail application. Entertaining such application, without change in circumstance, would lead to laying down wrong precedent. 6. In view of above, Application stands dismissed. (R. M. JOSHI, J.) Malani
