Holding

Bail was denied in Application No.1287/2026, while Applications No.1104/2026 and No.1160/2026 were withdrawn and disposed of.

Summary

The Bombay High Court, Aurangabad bench, heard three bail applications filed by Mandar Mukund Karambelkar in criminal matters. After hearing counsel for the applicants and the State, the court noted that the applicants in Bail Applications No.1104/2026 and No.1160/2026 chose to withdraw their pleas, leading to those applications being disposed of as withdrawn. The applicant in Bail Application No.1287/2026 persisted, but the court rejected the bail request, providing reasons (not reproduced in the excerpt). The related criminal applications seeking assistance to the Public Prosecutor were also disposed of. No substantive discussion of the underlying offences or legal arguments was recorded in the excerpt.

1.    I have heard all the three (3) bail applications, respective

State along with learned advocate Mr. Rathi for the original

informant.

2.    The entire record was produced before me during the

course of hearing with the able assistance of the learned

advocate assisted the learned APP for the State. I have perused

the same.

3.      After conclusion of the hearing, this Court showed

disinclination to allow the applications and at the said time,

the learned advocates for the applicants in Bail Application

No.1104 of 2026 and Bail Application No.1160 of 2026, on

instructions, submitted that they want to withdraw the

applications and do not want to invite any orders of this Court

on merits. However, learned advocate appearing for the

applicant in Bail Application No.1287 of 2026 prays for passing

the orders on merits.

4.      Accordingly, Bail Application No.1104 of 2026 and Bail

Application No.1160 of 2026 are permitted to be withdrawn.

Accordingly, both bail applications stand disposed of as

withdrawn.

5.      As far as Bail Application No.1287 of 2026 is concerned,

the application stands rejected. Reasons to follow.

6.      The connected criminal applications seeking permission

to assist the Public Prosecutor are accordingly disposed of.
