Disposal
DISMISSED

Holding

The anticipatory bail application was dismissed as infructuous because regular bail had already been granted.

Summary

The applicants filed an anticipatory bail application before the High Court of Bombay, Aurangabad Bench. During the hearing, counsel informed the Court that the applicants had already been granted regular bail by the Sessions Court. The Court noted that the grant of regular bail rendered the anticipatory bail application unnecessary. Consequently, the Court held that the anticipatory bail application had become infructuous. The application was therefore dismissed.
