Bombay High Court

XYZversusALIM RAJU SHAIKH AND ANOTHER

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: ABHAY S WAGHWASE

Holding

The application for cancellation of bail was dismissed as infructuous because no pending matter remained.

Summary

The applicant filed an application seeking cancellation of bail No. 12 of 2023. Counsel for the applicant informed the court that the trial had already concluded and a judgment had been rendered, leaving no pending proceedings. The respondent’s counsel was present, and the State was also a respondent. The court examined whether any issue remained that warranted consideration of the bail cancellation. Finding that the trial was over and no operative order existed, the court held that the application was moot. Consequently, the application was disposed of as infructuous.
