ASHOK RAMDAS MAHAJANversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

Disposal: Withdrawn

Holding

The bail application is dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty granted to file a fresh application before the trial court.

Summary

The applicant, Ashok Ramdas Mahajan, filed a bail application (BA/1282/2026) seeking release pending trial. During the pendency of the application, the prosecution filed a charge‑sheet, prompting the applicant to request withdrawal of the bail application and permission to file a fresh application before the trial court. The learned counsel for the applicant sought this withdrawal with liberty to re‑apply. The court, noting that the charge‑sheet had been filed, granted the liberty to file a fresh application before the trial court and dismissed the bail application as withdrawn. Consequently, the pending civil application related to the matter was also disposed of.
