Holding
The bail application was not pressed and is therefore disposed of without merits.
Summary
Reshmaben, daughter of Sulemanbhai Usmanbhai Katiya, filed a regular bail application before the filing of a charge-sheet. The applicant's counsel, Sajid Y. Kariyaniya, did not press the application before the court. The learned judge, Justice Hasmukh D. Suthar, noted that the applicant was given liberty to file a fresh application after the charge-sheet was filed, but the present application was not pressed. Consequently, the court disposed of the application without examining the merits of the case. No substantive discussion on bail criteria or statutory provisions was undertaken.
