JAMMU, Oct 6: High Court has dismissed the petition of ARTO Khursheed Ahmed Kanna seeking bail in corruption case.
“The petitioner has approached this court directly without exhausting the remedy before Special Judge and even if petitioner did approach the said court, yet he abandoned the application midway without actually exhausting the remedy as the petitioner withdrew the application”, Justice Sanjay Dhar said, adding “there are no exceptional circumstances in the case in hand which would entitle the petitioner to move the bail application directly before this court”.
“Since the court of first instant—Special Judge, Anticorruption, Baramulla, is already seized of the matter pertaining to grant of bail to co-accused, it will be appropriate if the bail application of the petitioner is also considered by the same court along with bail application of the co-accused”, High Court said, adding “this is important because any expression of opinion by this court is likely to influence the outcome of the bail application filed by the co-accused before the Special Court”.
