State of M.P., 1999(2) M.P.L.J. 663 and more particularly its observations that the changed circumstances do not mean some extra ordinary changes. Each d .....

..... e successive bail application is moved taking some other grounds and the Court is asked to reconsider the prayer of bail, it would be an endless exercise for the court and entertaining such application would be a sheer wastage of valuable time of the Court. 11] I have gone through the copy of earlier bail application and order passed thereon on 12/01/2022 and the present bail application. I find that the same grounds are repeated in the second bail application. The Judgments cited on behalf of the applicant while deciding the previous bail application are being pressed in while supporting the second bail application.
