Bombay High Court

NAMDEV MAHADEV MOREversusThe State of Maharashtra

Decided: 20 February 2026
Disposal: Allowed
Bench: N R BORKAR

Holding

The interim application was dismissed as there was nothing left to consider after the disposal of the main anticipatory bail application.

Summary

The High Court had already disposed of the anticipatory bail application (No. 90 of 2026) on 20 February 2026. An interim application (No. 188 of 2026) was filed thereafter, seeking further relief. The Court observed that, since the main anticipatory bail application had been fully decided, there was no substantive issue left for the interim application to address. Consequently, the Court dismissed the interim application as moot. No further orders were made.

Issues considered

What is the appropriate course of action when an interim application is filed after the principal anticipatory bail application has been disposed?

                                    CORAM         :     N.R. BORKAR, J.
                                    DATE          :     17.04.2026.

P.C. :

.                  As this Court has already disposed of the anticipatory

bail application by order dated 20.02.2026, nothing survives in the

present           interim   application   and     the   same   is   disposed          of

accordingly.


                                                          [N.R.BORKAR, J.]
