Bombay High Court
DEELIP S/O. BHIKAJI RAHATEversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ANR
- Disposal
- DISPOSED OFF
Holding
The revision application was dismissed as the cause of action had ceased to exist after the applicant completed his sentence.
Summary
The applicant, Deelip, failed to appear before the High Court on 25 August 2026, prompting the court to issue a non‑bailable warrant. He subsequently appeared before the court, represented by Advocate Shardul G. Shinde. The applicant contended that he had already served his sentence, and therefore the cause of action for the criminal revision no longer existed. The court examined whether a revision could be entertained after the completion of the sentence. Finding that the cause of action was extinguished, the court disposed of the criminal revision application.
Issues considered
- Whether a criminal revision application is maintainable when the appellant has already undergone the sentence imposed.

CORAM : SUSHIL M. GHODESWAR, J.
DATE : 22 September 2026
P. C. :-
1. On the last occasion i.e. on 25.08.2026 since none
had appeared on behalf of the applicant, this Court had issued
non bailable warrant to the applicant. In pursuance of the said
order, the applicant is present before this Court.
2. The learned advocate for the applicant states that the
applicant has undergone the sentence and therefore, the cause of
action to prosecute the instant revision does not survive.
3. In view of the above, the Criminal Revision
Application is disposed of.
