The application is disposed of as not pressed.

Summary

Shivaji @Shiva Gorakh Ugale filed a regular bail application before the charge-sheet was filed. The applicant's counsel, Mr. A A Zabuawala, did not press the application before the court. The court, noting the lack of pressing, granted the applicant liberty to file a fresh application after the charge-sheet is filed. Consequently, the court disposed of the present application without examining its merits. No substantive discussion on the merits of the bail claim was undertaken.
