SHRINIVAS VITTHAL WAGHMAREversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ANR.

Disposal: Dismissed as Withdrawn

Holding

The anticipatory bail application was withdrawn and therefore disposed of without a substantive order on bail.

Summary

The applicant, Shrinivas Vitthal Waghmare, filed an anticipatory bail application (No. 465 of 2026) before the Bombay High Court, seeking release on bail for alleged offences under several sections of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita. The applicant's counsel, Mr. Saurabh P. Tandale, after hearing, requested a pass‑over and subsequently sought leave to withdraw the application. The State’s counsel, Ms. Mahalaxmi Ganapathy, and the victim’s counsel, Mr. Darshan Singh Rajpurohit, did not oppose the withdrawal. The Court, noting the applicant’s request, granted leave to withdraw the anticipatory bail application. Consequently, the application was disposed of as withdrawn, with no substantive decision on bail.
