Ram Chandra v. State of U.P

Court No. - 68 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 36741 of 2020 Applicant :- Ram Chandra Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Prashant Kumar Singh,Achal Singh Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Dr. Gautam Chowdhary,J. Case called out in revised list. No one is present on behalf of applicant to press this bail application. However, learned A.G.A. for the State is present. The instant bail application has been filed for enlarging the applicant on bail in Case Crime No.79 of 2017 under Sections 306, 498A I.P.C. Police Station Pannuganj, District Sonebhadra, during the pendency of the trial in the Court below. Perusal of the record shows that the applicant is languishing in jail since 28.10.2017. The instant bail application was filed in the month of September 2020 and that the trial of the aforesaid case had commenced prior to filing of the instant application, as is evident from the perusal of the statements of P.W.1 to P.W.7, copies of which, are annexed as Annexure-6 and 7 to the affidavit accompanying the bail application. Since then, more than three years have lapsed thus it appears that by the efflux of time, the trial would have concluded, therefore either the cause of action no more survives or the applicant has lost interest in this matter or it has otherwise become infructuous and, probably for this reason, none is interested to have decided this matter on merits and that is why, counsel for applicant is absent. In view of the above, the present bail application is dismissed as infructuous. Order Date :- 28.10.2023 S.Ali High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
