Bombay High Court

SHAIKH SHAHRUKH S/O. SHAIKH DAUDversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The revision application is dismissed as infructuous because the appellant has already been acquitted.

Summary

The petitioner, Shaikh Shahrukh, was acquitted by the Sessions Court in a criminal matter. A revision application (No. 102 of 2020) was filed before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, challenging the acquittal. The petitioner’s counsel, Ms. Ashwini P. Patil, argued that the acquittal rendered the revision proceedings infructuous. The Court examined whether any further relief could be granted after a final acquittal. Finding that the matter was indeed moot, the Court disposed of the revision application as infructuous, without further hearing.
