Bhaskar Mishra vs State Of M.P

The Supreme Court held that the repeated applications for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Cr.P.C. by the petitioner, who was accused under Section 307 IPC, constituted a gross misuse of the court's process. The Court emphasized that the petitioner had shown a pattern of absconding and flouting court directions, leading to the dismissal of his applications. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, reinforcing that multiple applications for bail after previous rejections are impermissible and detrimental to judicial efficiency.
