Bombay High Court

NARESH DATTU NAIKversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ANR

Decided: 6 February 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off
Bench: SHYAM C CHANDAK

Holding

The application is dismissed as infructuous because bail had already been granted by the trial court.

Summary

Naresh Dattu Naik filed a bail application before the High Court of Bombay. The trial court had already granted him bail on 22 December 2025, and a copy of that order was produced. The learned advocate for the State, Smt. Madhavi H. Mhatre, highlighted the existence of the prior bail order. The Court observed that, in view of the trial court's grant, the present application was moot. Consequently, the High Court disposed of the bail application as infructuous.

Issues considered

Whether a bail application before the High Court is maintainable when the trial court has already granted bail?
