Bombay High Court

ABED S/O. KASAM PATHAN AND OTHERSversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ANR

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: NEERAJ P DHOTE

Holding

Leave to amend the criminal application was granted, subject to a one‑week deadline.

Summary

The applicants, Abed S/o. Kasam Pathan and others, filed a criminal application and subsequently sought leave to amend it after the investigating agency filed a charge-sheet. The learned advocate for the applicants requested the court's permission to make the amendment. The principal issue before the court was whether the amendment should be permitted despite the filing of the charge-sheet. Justice Neeraj P. Dhote granted leave to amend, imposing a strict deadline of one week for the amendment to be filed. The court warned that failure to comply within the stipulated period would result in dismissal of the application without further reference. The matter was listed for further hearing on 7 May 2026.
