Bench dictating the order : Jurisdiction of the High Court and the trial court for bail are concurrent. Merely because the petitioner approached the High Court first, it does not mean that the High Court cannot consider the bail application. As such we are of the view that the High Court ought to have considered the bail application. However, since the High Court has not considered the bail application, and much water has flown after the High Court order - there are two medical reports, one by the government hospital and another by Army Hospital- we deem it appropriate to consider the bail application on merits.
