"As according to the Vernon's case as relied upon by ld. counsel for the applicant, while considering bail, no 'deep analysis' of the facts of a case can be done and only 'surface analysis' of the probative value of evidence has to be done and as such the Hon'ble High Court has infact did complete surface analysis of probative value of the evidence while considering the prayer of the applicant for grant of bail and after doing so it was concluded that prima-facie case is made out against the applicant," trial court had noted in the order.

The court had said that when the Hon'ble High Court has already dismissed the criminal appeal of the applicant vide order dated 18.10.2022 and thereafter, the applicant approached the Supreme Court and withdrew his petition, the order of this Court as passed on March 24, 2022, has attained finality and now, in no stretch of imagination this court can make analysis of the facts of the case as desired by the applicant and consider the relief as prayed byhim.
