Bombay High Court

RATAN MANINI VERMAversusSTATE OF MAHARASHTRA

Decided: 14 August 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off

Holding

The interim application was dismissed as the applicant had already been released on bail.

Summary

The applicant, Ratan Manini Verma, filed an interim application (No. 437 of 2023) in Criminal Appeal No. 659 of 2015 against the State of Maharashtra. The application sought interim relief, but the court observed that the applicant had already been released on bail. Since the bail order rendered the relief sought moot, the court found no matter for further consideration. Consequently, the interim application was dismissed. The judges ordered the application to be disposed of.
