ADITYA LAHU SAKATversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

Disposal: Withdrawn

Holding

The bail application is disposed of as withdrawn, with liberty to file a fresh application before the trial court if there is no substantial progress in the trial.

Summary

The petitioner, Aditya Lahu Sakat, filed a bail application before the High Court of Bombay, Aurangabad Bench, seeking release pending trial. The Court expressed its disinclination to grant bail, after which the petitioner’s counsel requested permission to withdraw the application and to file a fresh one after six months. The Court allowed the withdrawal without ordering dismissal and granted liberty to file a fresh application before the trial court if the trial does not make substantial progress. It directed that any fresh application be decided by the trial court on its merits. Consequently, the bail application was disposed of as withdrawn, with a conditional liberty to re‑apply.

Issues considered

Whether a bail application can be withdrawn with liberty to file a fresh application after a specified period.
