High Court of Gujarat

RAJESH @LALO BHUPATBHAI VALAversusSTATE OF GUJARAT

Disposal: 40-WITHDRAWN @ FH
Bench: HASMUKH D SUTHAR

Holding

The bail application was dismissed as it was not pressed, and the Court did not consider its merits.

Summary

The petitioner, Rajesh @Lalo Bhupatbhai Vala, filed a regular bail application before the filing of a charge-sheet. The applicant's counsel sought liberty to file a fresh application after the charge-sheet was filed, indicating that the present application would not be pressed. The Court noted that the application was not pressed and therefore disposed of it without examining the merits. No substantive discussion on bail eligibility or procedural requirements was made. The order merely recorded the procedural disposition of the unpressed application.

Issues considered
