Bombay High Court

DULARIBEN JITENDRA GANDHIversusSTATE OF MAHARASHTRA

Decided: 27 July 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off
Bench: SHYAM C CHANDAK

Holding

The Court held that the interim application for intervention does not survive the disposal of the main bail application and is therefore dismissed.

Summary

The applicant, Poonam Ashok Sindholiya, filed Criminal Bail Application No.4702 of 2025 before the Bombay High Court. An intervenor, Dulariben Jitendra Gandhi, filed Interim Application No.502 of 2026 seeking to intervene in the bail proceedings. The Court noted that the bail application and a related Interim Application No.2286 of 2026 had already been disposed of by an order dated 13 July 2026. Consequently, the Court held that the pending Interim Application No.502 of 2026 could not survive the disposal of the main proceedings. The Court therefore disposed of the interim application without further hearing.

Issues considered

Whether the interim application for intervention remains viable after the disposal of the main bail application and the related interim application.
