Allahabad High Court
SACHIN @ YOGESHversusSTATE OF U.P.
- Decided
Holding
The Court dismissed the anticipatory bail application as the applicant did not appear and the earlier bail request had already been denied.
Summary
The applicant, Sachin @ Yogesh, filed a second anticipatory bail application in a criminal case involving alleged offences under Sections 376 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 5 and 6 of the POCSO Act. The first bail application had already been rejected by the same court. No counsel appeared on behalf of the applicant, while the State's learned Additional Government Advocate was present. The court noted the applicant's failure to appear and the prior rejection of the earlier bail plea. Consequently, the court dismissed the second bail application for want of prosecution.
