ORAL JUDGMENT
1. The Jail Superintendent, Sri Barker appeared through video conference and submits that the accused- Harisha has already been released. Now he is not in Judicial Custody.
2. Learned HCGP has produced the copy of the judgment passed in Special Case No.33/2014 dated 18.02.2026 on the file of V Addl. District and Sessions Judge, Mandya. It is submitted by the learned HCGP that the accused has already served the sentence and now he is released from jail. Since the accused is already released
HC-KAR
from jail authorities, the question of entertaining the bail application, preferred against the rejection of bail from the Sessions Court, does not survive for consideration. Hence, I proceed to pass the following:
ORDER
Appeal is disposed of in view of release of the accused from jail.
