Holding
The Court allowed the anticipatory bail application, directing that no coercive steps be taken against the applicant pending the decision of the pending application.
Summary
Yatish Dilip Desale filed an anticipatory bail application before the High Court, asserting that a similar application was already pending before the Sessions Court. The applicant's counsel requested that no coercive measures be taken against him until the pending application was decided. The State opposed the request. The Court considered the pendency of the earlier application and the principle that anticipatory bail may be granted to protect the applicant from arrest. Accordingly, the Court allowed the anticipatory bail application and ordered that no coercive steps be taken against the applicant pending the decision of the pending application.
Issues considered
- Whether anticipatory bail should be granted when a similar application is pending before the Sessions Court
- Whether coercive steps can be taken against the applicant pending the decision of the pending application
