Bombay High Court

RAVINDRANATH PRABHAKAR PATILversusSTATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ORS

Decided: 30 September 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off

Holding

The Court disposed of the petition as withdrawn, as the petitioner unconditionally withdrew the petition after the Court indicated it was not inclined to grant relief.

Summary

The petitioner, Santosh Pandurang Jadhav, filed a writ petition before the High Court of Bombay seeking relief against the State of Maharashtra and others. The Court, after hearing the petitioner’s counsel, indicated that it was not inclined to grant the relief sought. On the Court’s instructions, the petitioner unconditionally withdrew the petition. Consequently, the Court disposed of the petition as withdrawn. The pending interim application (ST) No.19913 of 2026 was also dismissed as it could not survive the withdrawal of the main petition.
