This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/ Physical Mode). 2. Earlier the bail application filed by the Petitioner was dismissed due to non-prosecution vide order dated 24.09.2025 in ABLAPL No.10942 of 2025. The Petitioner however instead of filing an application for restoration of the earlier bail application which was not considered on its merit has again filed a fresh bail application. Such filing of the subsequent bail application amounts to forum appeal which is strictly prohibited under law. 3. In view of the aforesaid position, the present bail application is being disposed of by granting liberty to the Petitioner to file application for restoration of the earlier anticipatory bail application. In the event any such application is filed the Co-ordinate Bench shall consider the same by taking a Page 2 of 2. lenient view. 4. With the aforesaid observations and directions, the ABLAPL is disposed of. (Aditya Kumar Mohapatra) Judge Rubi
