High Court of Gujarat

KISMATSINH @ LALO ROHITSINH RATHODversusSTATE OF GUJARAT

Decided
Disposal
99-NOT PRESSED

Holding

The Court permitted the applicant to file a fresh bail application after the charge-sheet and disposed of the present application as not pressed.

Summary

Kismatsinh Rathod applied for regular bail before the filing of a charge-sheet and sought permission to file a fresh bail application after the charge-sheet is filed. The applicant's counsel submitted that the present application was not being pressed and requested liberty to file a new application later. The Court, after hearing the parties, granted the permission sought and disposed of the present application as not pressed, without examining the merits of the bail claim. No substantive discussion on the merits of bail was undertaken. The order essentially allows the applicant to approach the Court again after the charge-sheet is filed.

Issues considered

  • Whether a regular bail application filed before the filing of a charge-sheet can be withdrawn and a fresh application filed after the charge-sheet is filed.

Subjects

  • regular bail
  • chargesheet
  • procedural law
  • criminal procedure
  • bail application
