MOHIT SHARMAversusSTATE OF U.P.AND ANOTHER

Decided

Holding

The bail application is dismissed because the applicant's counsel did not appear.

Summary

Mohit Sharma filed an application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code (No. 3014 of 2022) seeking bail. No counsel appeared on behalf of the applicant, while counsel for the State of U.P. and another party were present. The court noted the absence of representation for the applicant and consequently dismissed the bail application. The order directed that a copy of the dismissal be sent to the concerned court for further action. No substantive merits of the bail request were considered due to the procedural default.

Issues considered

  • Can a bail application under Section 482 proceed in the absence of the applicant's counsel?
  • Is the court empowered to dismiss the application solely on the ground of non-appearance?
