Holding
The bail application was dismissed as it was not pressed, and the Court did not consider its merits.
Summary
Ritika Bhupendra Dabbar filed a regular bail application before the filing of a charge-sheet in the High Court of Gujarat. The applicant's counsel, Sehbazusan A Kadri, did not press the application and instead sought liberty to file a fresh application after the charge-sheet was filed. The Court noted that the application was not pressed and therefore disposed of it on that ground. The judgment explicitly states that the Court did not examine the merits of the bail application. Consequently, the bail application was dismissed without any substantive consideration.
Issues considered
- What is the procedural consequence when an applicant's counsel does not press a bail application before the charge-sheet is filed?
