Holding
The bail application was dismissed as infructuous because the applicant had already been convicted.
Summary
The applicant, Afsaar, filed a criminal miscellaneous bail application (No. 20686 of 2025) before the Allahabad High Court seeking release from custody. The State, represented by the learned Additional Government Advocate, opposed the bail. The Court had earlier, on 09 July 2026, ordered a status report of the trial. The status report dated 24 September 2025 indicated that the applicant had been convicted in the underlying case. Since conviction had already occurred, the bail application was deemed infructuous. Consequently, the Court dismissed the bail application.
