Bombay High Court

DILIP RAMESH PATAREversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

Disposal: Withdrawn

Holding

The court did not grant bail and allowed the applicant to withdraw the application, permitting a fresh bail application after the charge-sheet is filed.

Summary

The petitioner, Dilip Ramesh Patare, filed a bail application before the High Court of Bombay, Aurangabad Bench, challenging his detention by the State of Maharashtra. Both parties presented arguments, with the State highlighting material against the petitioner. The Court expressed a disinclination to grant bail at that stage. Consequently, the petitioner’s counsel sought to withdraw the application, seeking liberty to file a fresh bail petition after the charge-sheet is filed. The Court granted the withdrawal and directed that any fresh bail application be considered by the trial court on its merits once the charge-sheet is filed.

                                      Dated : 21st August, 2026
            PER COURT :-

            1.        Heard the learned Advocate for the applicant and learned APP
            for the State.

            2.        Though the matter was argued substantially and even the
            learned APP has pointed out the material against the present applicant,
            this court, upon showing its disinclination to allow the application, the
            learned Advocate for the applicant, on instructions, seeks withdrawal
            of the application with liberty to file fresh application after filing of the
            charge-sheet.

            3.        Leave as prayed is granted. The Bail Application stands
            disposed of as withdrawn.

            4.        If the applicant prefers the fresh bail application alongwith
            charge-sheet before the trial court, then the trial court shall consider it
            on its own merits, in accordance with law.
