Summary
The applicant Arun filed a criminal miscellaneous bail application (No. 42873 of 2023) before the Allahabad High Court. No counsel appeared for either party, but the learned Additional Government Advocate was present. The court examined the trial court report dated 11 February 2026, which indicated that the trial had already been concluded on 26 March 2025.
