Holding
The bail application is withdrawn, and the applicant is granted liberty to file a fresh bail application before the trial court if circumstances change or after one year if the trial shows no substantial progress.
Summary
The applicant, Aditya Vijay Shinde, filed a bail application under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, for alleged offences under Sections 103(1) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. During the hearing, the applicant’s counsel sought to withdraw the application and requested liberty to file a fresh bail petition later if circumstances changed or if the trial did not progress substantially within a year. The State’s counsel agreed to the withdrawal and indicated that prosecution witnesses would be examined promptly. The Court, noting the applicant’s young age (23 years) and the State’s concurrence, granted liberty to file a fresh bail application under the stated conditions. Consequently, the bail application was formally disposed of as withdrawn. The order directed that any future bail application be considered on its own merits in accordance with the law.
Issues considered
- Whether a bail application filed under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 can be withdrawn with liberty to file a fresh application later.
- Whether the Court may grant conditional liberty to file a fresh bail application based on change in circumstances or lack of trial progress.
