Holding
Since the applicant has been acquitted in the case, the bail application has become infructuous and is dismissed as such.
Summary
Shahnawaz filed Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 29178 of 2024 before the Allahabad High Court against the State of U.P. and three others. During the hearing, the applicant's counsel submitted that the applicant had already been acquitted in the underlying case, rendering the bail application infructuous. The Court heard the applicant's counsel and the Additional Government Advocate and perused the record. The Court accepted the submission that no useful purpose would be served by pressing the bail application. Consequently, the bail application was dismissed as having become infructuous. No adjudication on the merits of the bail plea was undertaken. The order was passed by Dr. Gautam Chowdhary, J. on March 19, 2026.
