Summary

The applicant, Keyur Rameshbhai Patel, filed a bail application (No. 2116 of 2026) before the Bombay High Court against the State of Diu & Daman. An interim application (No. 1622 of 2026) was subsequently filed to correct the number of the interim application. The court granted leave to amend the number.
