Bombay High Court

BAJIRAO BABURAO CHAVANversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

Disposal: ABATED

Holding

The revision application was abated and disposed of because the applicant had died.

Summary

The High Court of Bombay, Aurangabad Bench, heard several criminal revision applications filed by Balu, Vishnu Apparao Kale, Bajirao Baburao Chavan and Vishnu Ramchandra Deokar against the State of Maharashtra. The applicant Bajirao Baburao Chavan submitted a death certificate during the hearing. The Court noted that the death of the applicant rendered the pending revision application untenable. Consequently, the Court held that the revision application filed by Chavan (No. 170/2022) could not proceed. The application was therefore abated and disposed of. No substantive merits of the revision were examined.
