Learned counsel for the petitioner has further stated that thereafter during the investigation Sections 395/397 CRM-M- No.5085 of 2011 2 IPC were also added against the petitioner, hence petitioner was taken into custody, therefore, he moved fresh bail application, which was rejected by the learned Trial Court. According to learned counsel for the petitioner, once accused has been enlarged on regular bail, adding of new Sections during the investigation, if minimum punishment provided is not death of life imprisonment, then accused should not be asked to seek fresh bail, rather on furnishing fresh bonds for the newly added Sections, he may be allowed to continue on the same bail.
