Holding
The application for cancellation of bail is dismissed for non‑prosecution.
Summary
The petitioner, Sanjay Yadav, filed an application seeking cancellation of bail that had been granted to accused No.2, Deepak Kumar, on 19 January 2021. The court had earlier given the petitioner's counsel a three‑week peremptory period to rectify procedural defects, but no steps were taken and no counsel appeared on the hearing date. The State’s counsel was present, but the petitioner’s side was absent. Observing that the matter was old and the petitioner appeared to have lost interest, the court dismissed the application on the ground of non‑prosecution. Consequently, the bail order remained in force.
Issues considered
- Whether the bail granted to the accused can be cancelled on the basis of the petitioner's application
- Whether failure to appear and rectify procedural defects warrants dismissal of the application
Subjects
- bail
- cancellation of bail
- non‑prosecution
- criminal miscellaneous
