With evidence concluded and trial at the Section 313 Cr.P.C. stage, the Court held the question of considering the bail petition did not arise, directed disposal of the trial within one month, and disposed of the petition without granting bail.
What did the court decide?
As prosecution evidence has already been concluded, the question of considering the regular-bail petition does not arise; the trial Court is to appreciate the evidence of the prosecution while determining the case.
