Leave to appeal was granted, the appeal admitted, and a bailable warrant of Rs.5,000 issued against the original accused.
Summary
The Ahmedabad District Cooperative Bank Ltd., represented by Yuvrajsinh Vanrajsinh Jadeja, filed a criminal miscellaneous application seeking leave to appeal against a decision involving the State of Gujarat and an original accused. The original accused (respondent No.2) did not appear despite service of notice. Counsel for the applicant argued for the grant of leave to appeal. The court, noting the non‑appearance and after hearing the applicant’s counsel, granted leave to appeal and admitted the criminal appeal. Additionally, the court ordered the issuance of a bailable warrant of Rs.5,000 against the original accused. The State, represented by the Additional Public Prosecutor, waived service of notice of admission.
Issues considered
- What is the appropriate discretion of the court in granting leave to appeal in a criminal matter?
- Should a bailable warrant be issued against the original accused who failed to appear?
