High Court of Gujarat

JAYESH RAMESHBHAI CHAVDAversusSTATE OF GUJARAT

Disposal: 27-WITHDRAWN @ ADM.STAGE
Bench: HASMUKH D SUTHAR

Holding

The application is disposed of as not pressed.

Summary

The petitioner, Jayesh Rameshbhai Chavda, filed a regular bail application before the charge-sheet was filed. During the pendency of the application, the charge-sheet was filed and the petitioner’s counsel did not press the application further. The learned counsel informed the court that the applicant would not pursue the bail request. The court therefore disposed of the application on the ground that it was not pressed, without examining the merits of the case. No substantive discussion on bail or the charge‑sheet was undertaken.

Issues considered

Can a regular bail application filed before the charge‑sheet be entertained when the applicant’s counsel does not press the application?
