ALKA W/O. GAJANAN PANKADEversusGAJANAN S/O. YADAVRAO PANKADE

Disposal: Withdrawn

Holding

The High Court may grant leave to withdraw a criminal revision application and did so in this case.

Summary

Alka, the wife of Gajanan Pankade, filed a criminal revision application (No. 24 of 2020) before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, against her husband Gajanan. The applicant, through Advocate Mr. Yash A. Jadhav, sought leave of the court to withdraw the revision. The sole question before the court was whether it could grant such leave to withdraw a pending criminal revision. The court exercised its inherent discretion to allow the withdrawal, finding no legal impediment to doing so. Consequently, leave was granted and the revision application was disposed of as withdrawn.
