Summary

Balaji Rajebhau Chavan filed two bail applications (Nos. 2320/2025 and 2179/2025) against the State of Maharashtra. The first application was filed through a private counsel, while the second was filed by a lawyer appointed under legal aid. The applicant, through counsel, sought leave to withdraw the first bail application. The Court, after granting leave, disposed of application No. 2320/2025 as withdrawn and, noting that the second application was filed after the first, also disposed of application No. 2179/2025 as withdrawn.
