THE Madurai Bench of Madras HC recently held that a second habeas corpus petition (HCP) against the same detention order is not maintainable unless it is based on new grounds that did not exist at the time of dismissal of the first petition.

A bench of justices S M Subramaniam and G Arul Murugan made the observations while hearing a HCP filed by Mirtunaj Kumar, challenging the detention of his brother U Rohit Kumar (27) under Goondas Act, in connection with the Flipkart price coupon fraud case.
