Decided
Disposal
DISMISSED

Holding

The petition for cancellation of bail was rejected because the same prayer was pending before the trial court.

Summary

Seema Devi filed a petition seeking cancellation of the bail granted to Rajan Sharma. The petitioner argued that the bail should be set aside. The State and the accused opposed the petition. The court observed that an identical prayer for cancellation of bail was already pending before the trial court under paragraph 11 of the same bail petition. Consequently, the High Court held that the present petition could not be entertained while the parallel application was pending. The petition for cancellation of bail was therefore rejected.

Issues considered

  • Whether a petition for cancellation of bail can be entertained when the same relief is pending before the trial court

Subjects
