In Brief
Amanul Haque sought pre-arrest bail in a case registered for alleged abduction of a minor girl under Section 366 IPC, after his earlier bail application was rejected. The Supreme Court found that the earlier coordinate bench had examined the case diary and rejected bail based on implicating materials—the petitioner was the victim's private tutor and there was evidence of the victim being transported. The petitioner failed to demonstrate any material change in circumstances to warrant reconsideration. The Court dismissed the application, holding that a second bail application can only be entertained if there is a significant change in the underlying facts or circumstances from the prior rejection."
