The court held that the bail application may be withdrawn and the applicant may file a fresh bail application if the trial does not begin within four months.
Summary
The petitioner, Bhavinkumar Kiritbhai Patel, filed a regular bail application after the filing of a chargesheet in a criminal case against the State of Gujarat. The applicant, through counsel Manan V. Patel, later sought permission to withdraw the bail application and requested liberty to file a fresh bail application. The respondent, the State, was represented by Mr. Soaham Joshi. The High Court examined whether the applicant could withdraw the pending bail application and be allowed to re‑apply if the trial had not commenced within a stipulated period. The Court found no legal impediment to permitting the withdrawal and granted the liberty to file a new bail application if the trial does not begin within four months. Accordingly, the application was disposed of as withdrawn with the said liberty.
Issues considered
- Whether the bail application can be withdrawn and a fresh bail application be filed later
- Whether the court can grant liberty to re‑apply if trial does not commence within four months
