Holding

The court allowed the interim application and disposed of it.

Summary

The applicant, Ashok Murlidhar Ashtekar, filed an interim application under Criminal Anticipatory Bail No. 1350 of 2026 before the Bombay High Court. The State of Maharashtra was the respondent, and an intervenor also filed a supporting application. The primary issue was whether the interim relief sought should be granted pending the final decision on the anticipatory bail. The court considered the submissions of the applicant’s counsel and the arguments presented in the intervention application. Relying on those submissions, the judge found no impediment to granting the interim relief. Consequently, the interim application was allowed and the matter was disposed of.
