Summary

The applicant, Kiran Yowraj Bhilare, filed a criminal bail application (No. 1130 of 2026) in a case registered at Sinhagad Road Police Station, Pune. The applicant's counsel sought to withdraw the bail application and re‑file it before the trial court, relying on observations made by the High Court in a prior bail order dated 01‑12‑2025 (Criminal Bail Application No. 4042 of 2025).
