Bombay High Court

NEHA JITENDRA AGRWAL AND OTHERSversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

Disposal: APPLICATION ALLOWED

Holding

The court held that the criminal application is allowed and ordered the amendment to be made before the next date.

Summary

The petitioners, including Neha Jitendra Agrawal, filed Criminal Application No. 3663 of 2026 (and earlier No. 3891 of 2023) against the State of Maharashtra. The applications sought relief under the prayer clause (B), presumably for amendment of pleadings or procedural orders. The High Court, after hearing counsel, examined the factual matrix and found no impediment to granting the relief. Accordingly, the court allowed the application, directing that the amendment be effected before the next hearing. The court also scheduled the pending Criminal Application No. 3891 of 2023 for hearing on 27 October 2026.
