Allahabad High Court
ANIRUDDACHARYA CHELA BHAGWAN DASversusSTATE OF U.P. AND ANOTHER
- Decided
Holding
The anticipatory bail application was dismissed as it had become infructuous due to the prior grant of bail.
Summary
The applicant, Aniruddacharya Chela Bhagwan Das, filed an anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code before the Allahabad High Court. During the hearing, counsel for the applicant informed the court that the applicant had already been granted bail by the Sessions Court. The court examined the record and noted that the purpose of the anticipatory bail application was rendered moot by the prior grant of bail. Consequently, the court held that the application had become infructuous. The application was therefore dismissed.
