High Court of Gujarat

MOIN S/O RUKNODDIN MALEKversusSTATE OF GUJARAT

Disposal: 27-WITHDRAWN @ ADM.STAGE
Bench: HASMUKH D SUTHAR

Holding

The bail application was dismissed as it was not pressed by the applicant.

Summary

The applicant, Moin, filed a regular bail application before the filing of a charge-sheet in a criminal case. While the application was pending, the charge-sheet was filed. The applicant's counsel chose not to press the bail application thereafter. The court noted that the application was not pressed and therefore could not be entertained. Consequently, the court disposed of the application without examining its merits. No substantive discussion on bail or the underlying charges was made.

Issues considered
