Disposal
Disposed Off

Holding

The Court allowed the withdrawal of all pending appeals with liberty to file a fresh appeal before the Sessions Court.

Summary

Shilpa Stock Broker Pvt Ltd filed multiple criminal appeals before the Bombay High Court against Rohidas Manohar Jadhav and another. The appellant sought leave to withdraw all the appeals and obtain liberty to file a fresh appeal before the Sessions Court, relying on the Supreme Court's decision in Celestium Financial v. A. Gnanasekaran. The learned counsel submitted that the withdrawal would not prejudice the respondents and that the Sessions Court could consider any delay. The Court, after considering the submission, permitted the withdrawal of all appeals with liberty to re‑file before the Sessions Court. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed and recorded as withdrawn, with a direction that the Sessions Court may assess any delay if the appeals are re‑filed.
