- Decided
Holding
The bail application was dismissed as infructuous because the trial had already been concluded.
Summary
The applicant Sagar filed a criminal miscellaneous bail application before the Allahabad High Court. No counsel appeared for either party, though the State’s Additional Government Advocate was present. The court examined the trial court’s report dated 13‑02‑2026, which indicated that the trial had already been concluded on 09‑10‑2024. Since the substantive trial was over, the bail application could no longer be entertained. Consequently, the court dismissed the bail application as infructuous.
