Forum shopping in bail proceedings led to fresh merits consideration after parallel remedies and adverse orders were withheld.

Forum shopping and suppression of material facts undermine the good faith required for discretionary bail jurisdiction. Pursuing parallel bail or release remedies while withholding rejection orders and refusal of interim release constitutes abuse of process. Urgent vacation listing of a pending bail petition, without a returnable date, Vacation Bench direction, or adequate notice to the opposing party, improperly seeks to steal a march and mislead the Court. The bail petition was revived for fresh consideration on merits, while the existing bail continued as interim bail pending further orders.
