Quick Summary: Recently, the Delhi High Court turned down Harsh's request for bail before arrest. The court found that Harsh submitted multiple bail requests in different courts, which was seen as misusing the legal system.
On January 23, 2026, Harsh's case was reviewed in the Delhi High Court. Judge Girish Kathpalia was in charge of the case. The main issue was that Harsh had filed two requests for bail before arrest in different courts on the same day, raising doubts about his intentions.
"This is clearly misusing the system in the name of freedom," said Judge Kathpalia.
The first request was filed in the Court of Sessions by Mr. Sunil Singh Tomer, while the second was filed by Mr. Rakesh Kaushik & Associates. Both are located in New Delhi's Rohini Court Complex, but they didn't know about each other's actions.
Harsh appeared via videoconference with his lawyer, Ms. Shweta S. Kumar. He claimed he didn't know about the multiple filings and blamed his mother for the mix-up. However, both requests had Harsh's signature and were backed by his sworn statement.
"The accused is completely avoiding the issue," noted the judge.
The court decided that Harsh's actions were an attempt to trick the legal system. Judge Kathpalia dismissed both requests, highlighting the importance of being honest in legal matters.
This case shows that the legal system values openness and honesty. Filing multiple requests in different courts is not only looked down upon but can also lead to serious consequences.
