No. 1295/2006 (Abdul Kadar khairani and two others vs. State of chhattisgarh) and M. Cr. C. No. 1323/2006 (Smt Nishant Meman vs. State of chhattisgarh ). By the said order, it was directed that in the event of arrest of these applicants, they shall be released on bail on each of them furnishing a personal bond in sum of Rs. 10. 000/- with one surety each in like amount to the satisfaction of the officer arresting them. It was also directed that the said order shall remain in force for a period of 45 days from the said date, during which, the applicants may apply for regular bail before the concerned Court.

( 3 ) LEARNED counsel for the applicants submits that after the aforesaid protective umbrella opened in favour of the applicants, the applicants applied before the Chief Judicial Magistrate for grant of regular bail under Section 437 cr. P. C. , but their application was dismissed on merits vide order dated 27/g/ 2006 (Annexure A-2 ). Thereafter, hey filed another application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure before the Sessions Court, which was also dismissed vide order dated 30. 6. 2006 (Annexure A-3 ). After rejection of the aforesaid application by the Sessions court, the applicants filed an application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal procedure before the High Court vide m. Cr. C.

( 4 ) IN the opinion of this Court, this second bail application filed under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal procedure cannot be entertained in the prevailing facts and circumstances of this case, as the earlier bail application of the applicants was allowed and the applicants, after travelling to the High Court, ultimately, withdrew their application filed under Section 439 of the Code of criminal Procedure and availed full of opportunity for grant of regular bail. The concept of entertaining the subsequent bail application in the changed circumstance cannot be applied when the earlier bail application was allowed. In, fact, if this subsequent bail application filed under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is entertained, it would go against the spirit of law laid down by the apex Court in the matter of Adri Dharan das v. State of W. B. (2005) 4 SCC 303, wherein referring to the decision rendered in the matter of salauddin Abdulsamad Shaikh v. State of maharashtra (1996) 1 SCC 667 and KL. Verma v. State (1998) 9 SCC 348. , the supreme Court has held as follows:
