Mateen and 2 Others v. State of U.P. and Another
Case brief
What is this about?
The court rejected the anticipatory bail application of Mateen and two others. The applicants had previously been directed to appear and apply for bail within thirty days in 2020 but failed to do so. The court held that since their earlier opportunity was not availed after a year, no ground exists for granting anticipatory bail now, though they can apply for regular bail later.
What did the court decide?
Anticipatory bail application rejected; applicants directed to apply for regular bail separately.
