Repetition of Bail Applications Without Fresh Grounds - Courts generally hold that a second or subsequent anticipatory bail application filed by the same applicant, based on the same grounds as a previous rejected application, is not maintainable. It is emphasized that all grounds available at the time of the first application should have been raised earlier, and filing a second without new grounds is considered an abuse of process. For instance, sources ["2023 0 Supreme(All) 889"], ["2022 0 Supreme(MP) 587"], and ["2023 0 Supreme(P&H) 1722"] confirm that successive applications are typically rejected if no new material or changed circumstances are presented. [References: ["2023 0 Supreme(All) 889"], ["2022 0 Supreme(MP) 587"], ["2023 0 Supreme(P&H) 1722"]]
Changed Circumstances as a Basis for Fresh Bail Applications - Some courts recognize that material change in circumstances, such as new facts, legal developments, or subsequent events (e.g., issuance of fresh warrants, change in law), can justify filing a fresh bail application even after rejection of a prior one. Sources ["2025 0 Supreme(All) 2857"] and ["2023 0 Supreme(Bom) 1361"] highlight that if there is a substantial change in circumstances, courts may entertain a new application. However, mere reiteration of earlier grounds without new facts remains insufficient. [References: ["2025 0 Supreme(All) 2857"], ["2023 0 Supreme(Bom) 1361"]]
Legal Precedents and Judicial Viewpoints - The judiciary generally discourages multiple bail applications on the same grounds, emphasizing the importance of avoiding forum shopping and unnecessary litigation. The Supreme Court and various High Courts have reiterated that successive applications are not maintainable unless supported by new grounds or material changes. Notably, cases like Rani Dudeja ["2022 0 Supreme(MP) 587"] and Amritlal Vishwakarma ["2022 0 Supreme(MP) 587"] clarify that even if an application is withdrawn or rejected on merits, a subsequent application requires fresh grounds or material change. [References: ["2022 0 Supreme(MP) 587"], ["2024 0 Supreme(Raj) 1011"], ["2023 0 Supreme(P&H) 1722"]]
Analysis and Conclusion:
In summary, an anticipatory bail application once rejected is generally not permissible to be filed again on the same grounds. However, if there are genuine new facts or material changes in circumstances, courts may entertain a fresh application. The key determinant is the presence of such new grounds; mere repetition of earlier grounds or procedural withdrawals typically do not justify a second application. This approach aims to prevent abuse of the judicial process while allowing genuine cases of changed circumstances to be reconsidered.

Therefore, in view of the aforesaid, it is not open to the aggrieved person to file successive bail application on the ground already rejected by the Court earlier without any fresh material, factual or legal.
