High Court of Gujarat

HITESHKUMAR GAURISHANKAR PATELversusSTATE OF GUJARAT

Disposal: 46-ANY OTHER MODE @ FH
Bench: P M RAVAL

Holding

The Court held that failure to remove the office objections by 15 July 2025 will result in dismissal of the proceedings.

Summary

The petitioners, Vishal Enterprise (proprietor Anilbhai Gopalji Umarigar & Anr), filed a series of special criminal applications seeking quashing of proceedings and interim relief against the State of Gujarat. The Court noted that the primary issue was the existence of office objections that the petitioners were required to remove. The Court directed the petitioners to have the office objections removed on or before 15 July 2025, failing which the pending proceedings would be dismissed without further reference to the Court. The order also confirmed that any interim relief previously granted would continue until the next date of hearing. No substantive discussion on merits was made, as the order was purely procedural.
