Mohan Singh vs Union Territory, Chandigarh on 20 February, 1978
6. I shall refer to the decisions relied on by learned counsel.
Mohan Singh V. Union Territory (AIR 1978 1095) was a case
where simultaneous bail petitions were moved before the learned
Sessions Judge and the High court. Learned Sessions Judge granted
bail without noticing that a similar petition was being considered by
the High court. High court cancelled the bail granted by learned
Sessions Judge. The Supreme court observed on the facts of the case
that cancellation of bail by the High court was not required. That
however was not a case where learned Sessions Judge had granted
bail notwithstanding refusal of bail by the High Court. It is only that
when learned Sessions Judge granted bail, another petition seeking
Crl.R.P.No.2207 of 2009 8
the same relief was pending in the High court. Therefore, order of
learned Sessions Judge did not involve a violation of discipline or
propriety.
