ANIL AMBADAS UGHADEversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

Decided: 13 January 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off
Bench: R N LADDHA

Holding

The revision application is dismissed as infructuous because the original criminal case has been finally disposed.

Summary

The applicant, Anil Ambadas Ughade, filed Criminal Revision Application No. 241 of 2008 challenging the disposal of Criminal Case No. 113 of 2007, which was pending before the Judicial Magistrate First Class, Khalapur. The learned counsel for the applicant argued that the revision should be entertained despite the final disposal of the original case. The court examined whether any substantive issue remained for review after the original proceeding had concluded. Finding that the original case had been finally disposed and no operative order remained, the court held that the revision was infructuous. Consequently, the revision application was dismissed.
