Holding
The application was disposed of as not pressed, without any merits being considered.
Summary
The petitioner, Sunil Sureshbhai Chauhan (Bawri), filed a regular bail application after the filing of a chargesheet. The applicant's counsel, Denish V. Mavadhia, did not press the application because the petitioner had already been acquitted. The court noted that the application was therefore not pressed and consequently disposed of it without examining the merits. The respondent, the State of Gujarat, was represented by Ms. Vrunda Shah. The order clarified that no substantive consideration of the bail issue was undertaken. The disposition was purely procedural, resulting in the dismissal of the unpressed application.
Issues considered
- What is the procedural consequence when a bail application is not pressed by counsel after the petitioner has been acquitted?
