Bombay High Court

BALAJI S/O. DNYANDEO MOKALEversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The criminal revision application is deemed infructuous and is disposed of.

Summary

The applicant, Balaji, filed a criminal revision application (St. No.213 of 2018) and a related criminal application No.2131 of 2018. Counsel for the applicant argued that, due to the passage of time, the revision application had become infructuous. The court considered whether the application remained maintainable. Finding that the delay rendered the application ineffective, the court held it could no longer be pursued. Consequently, the revision application was disposed of as infructuous, and the related criminal application was also dismissed.
