Bombay High Court

GOVIND JANABA WAGHMAREversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ANOTHER

Disposal: Withdrawn

Holding

The bail application is disposed of as withdrawn, with liberty granted to the applicant to file a fresh application before the trial court.

Summary

The applicant, Govind Janaba Waghmare, filed a bail application based on an initial charge-sheet that listed him as absconding. He was subsequently arrested and a supplementary charge-sheet was filed while the bail application was pending. The applicant sought to withdraw the bail application and obtain liberty to approach the trial court on the basis of both the original and supplementary charge-sheets. The Court granted the liberty to withdraw the bail application and allowed the applicant to file a fresh application before the trial court, which will be considered on its merits. Consequently, the bail application was disposed of as withdrawn.

Issues considered

Whether a bail application filed on the basis of an initial charge-sheet can be withdrawn after a supplementary charge-sheet is filed.
Whether the applicant is entitled to liberty to approach the trial court afresh on the basis of both charge-sheets.
