Holding
The bail application was dismissed as infructuous since the trial had already been concluded.
Summary
Suresh Kumar filed a criminal miscellaneous bail application (No. 17334 of 2025) before the Allahabad High Court, seeking release pending trial. The applicant's counsel, Raj Kumar Khanna and Sandal Khanna, informed the court that the trial had already been concluded, rendering the bail application moot. The court considered whether a bail application could proceed after the conclusion of the trial. Finding that the purpose of bail—to secure liberty pending trial—was no longer applicable, the court held the application to be infructuous. Consequently, the bail application was dismissed.
