Holding
The court extended the period of interim relief granted to the applicants until 14 October 2026.
Summary
The applicants, Venkata Bhaskara Rao Maddala and Gajendran S., filed several interim applications (Nos. 3460, 3496, 3548, 3549 of 2026) in separate criminal applications before the Bombay High Court. The applications sought extensions of the interim relief previously granted by the court on 8 September 2026. Counsel for the applicants, Mr. Vikrant M. Pandey and Mr. Utkarsh M. Shukla of Hedgehog & Fox LLP, argued for the continuance of the relief. The State of Maharashtra and National Spot Exchange Limited, represented by Mr. P. P. Jadhav and Mr. Nimeet Sharma respectively, opposed the extensions. Justice Madhav J. Jamdar allowed the interim applications, extending the relief until 14 October 2026 as per the prayer clauses (b) and (c). Consequently, all the interim applications were formally disposed of.
