Bombay High Court

AMEYA DEEPAK BHIDE AND OTHERversusSAKSHI AMEYA BHIDE AND ANOTHER

Disposal: DISMISSED

Holding

The petition is dismissed as infructuous because the order of the JMFC has rendered the relief sought moot.

Summary

Amay Deepak Bhide filed a criminal writ petition before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, challenging a matter involving Sakshi Amay Bhide. While the petition was pending, the Judicial Magistrate First Class, Shrirampur, passed an order on 14 August 2026 in Criminal M.A. No. 69/2024 that addressed the substantive issues raised in the writ. On instructions, the petitioner's counsel informed the Court that the writ petition had become infructuous in view of that order. The Court examined whether the petition retained any operative purpose after the magistrate’s decision. Finding that the relief sought was rendered moot, the Court dismissed the petition as infructuous.

Issues considered

Whether the criminal writ petition remains maintainable after the substantive order passed by the Judicial Magistrate First Class?
