Summary
The petitioners, Rashmi Santosh Gogate and others, filed civil applications before the Bombay High Court seeking deletion of their names from the court records. The State of Maharashtra was the respondent. The primary issue was whether the court could order such deletion and under what conditions. The court held that deletion of names is permissible but must be undertaken at the petitioners' own risk. Accordingly, the applications were allowed, permitting the petitioners to delete their names subject to that risk.

- Whether such deletion can be permitted only at the petitioners' own risk
