SOURABH DEEPAK JADHAVversusSTATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ANR.

Disposal
Dismissed as Withdrawn

Holding

The Court allowed the withdrawal of the bail application and directed that a fresh bail application be filed before the trial court.

Summary

The applicant, Sourabh Deepak Jadhav, filed a bail application seeking regular bail in connection with CR No. 999 of 2024. The State objected, citing an earlier order dated 19 September 2025 which required the applicant to file a fresh bail application before the trial court. The applicant’s counsel requested permission to withdraw the present application and file a new one as directed. The Court granted leave to withdraw the bail application, directing that any fresh application be considered on its own merits before the trial court. Consequently, the bail application was disposed of as withdrawn.

Issues considered

  • Whether the bail application can be withdrawn in view of the earlier order directing a fresh application before the trial court.

Subjects

  • bail
  • regular bail
  • withdrawal of application
  • fresh bail application
  • criminal procedure
