SANDEEP ROHIDAS SALVEversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS

Disposal: Withdrawn

Holding

The bail application is dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty to file a fresh application before the trial court.

Summary

The petitioner, Sandeep Rohidas Salve, filed a bail application before the High Court of Bombay, Aurangabad Bench, seeking release pending trial. During the pendency of the application, the investigating agency filed a charge-sheet, prompting the petitioner's counsel to seek withdrawal of the bail application and to file a fresh application before the trial court. The learned judge considered the procedural propriety of allowing withdrawal after a charge-sheet is filed. The court granted permission to withdraw the bail application, directing the petitioner to file a fresh application with the charge-sheet attached. The bail application was consequently dismissed as withdrawn, with the trial court to decide any fresh application on its merits.
