Holding

The Court permitted the Intervenor to intervene in Bail Application No.907 of 2026.

Summary

The Intervenor, who is the original complainant, filed an interim application seeking to be allowed to intervene in Bail Application No.907 of 2026. The Applicant’s counsel, Mr. Sampatrao H. Pawar, stated that the Applicant had no objection to the Intervenor’s participation. The State’s counsel, Mr. C. D. Mali, also did not oppose the request. The Court, noting the lack of objection from both parties, permitted the Intervenor to intervene and authorized an amendment to the bail application to reflect this change. The permission to amend was granted and the interim application was subsequently disposed of.
