The petitioner herein who was one of the accused SCR.A/1878/2007 2/3 JUDGMENT was though granted bail by the learned Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Surendranagar, but stayed the same by his own order dated 29.9.2007. The petitioner therefore, approached this Court seeking stay of that order. In short, it was the case of the petitioner that he should be released urgently as substantial payment was already made towards the disputed amount for which he is charged to have committed offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. 2. By an order dated 1.10.2007, this Court had granted interim reprieve to the applicant on certain condition. It is not in dispute that under the said interim order, the applicant is released on bail and that he has also fulfilled the condition contained in the said order. 3. Since the order of the learned Sessions Judge suspending the bail of the applicant was to operate till 5th October, 2007, no further purpose of this petition survives and same is required to be disposed of accordingly. 4. Learned advocates appearing for the parties pointed out that original complainant has filed the application before this Court seeking cancellation of bail granted by the learned Sessions Judge. Be that as it may, admittedly so far no order has been passed and, therefore, SCR.A/1878/2007 3/3 JUDGMENT there is no purpose now left in entertaining this petition. Same is accordingly disposed of. Rule is discharged. (Akil Kureshi,J.) (raghu)
