Bombay High Court

SANGRAM DHONDIRAM GOINGADE AND ORSversusSTATE OF MAHARASHTRA

Disposal: Disposed off as Withdrawn

Holding

The Court granted leave to withdraw the interim application and disposed of it as withdrawn.

Summary

The applicants, Sangram Dhondiram Goingade and others, filed Criminal Interim Application No. 1435 of 2025 in Criminal Appeal No. 400 of 2025. Subsequently, their counsel, Mr. Sukumar Ghanvat, informed the Court that the applicants no longer wished to pursue the interim relief and sought leave to withdraw the application. The State's Assistant Public Prosecutor, Ms. Shubhangi N. Deshmukh, did not oppose the request. The Court considered whether it could grant permission to withdraw an interim application that had already been filed. Relying on procedural principles, the Court granted leave to withdraw and ordered the interim application to be disposed of as withdrawn. The matter was thus concluded without any further hearing on the interim relief.

Issues considered

Whether the Court may grant leave to withdraw a criminal interim application filed in an appeal.
Whether the withdrawal of the interim application results in its disposal without further adjudication.

Subjects

withdrawal of interim application
criminal procedure
leave to withdraw
