SACHIN SUHASRAO LINGRASversusSTATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ANR

Disposal: Disposed off as Withdrawn

Holding

The Court granted leave to withdraw and disposed of the writ petition as withdrawn.

Summary

The petitioner, Sachin Suhasrao Lingras, filed a criminal writ petition seeking to quash an order dated 30/07/2024 passed by the Judicial Magistrate First Class, Gargoti, in Summary Criminal Case No.74 of 2017, and to stay the proceedings. The petition also requested interim reliefs. Subsequently, the petitioner’s counsel, Mr. Piyush Toshnival, applied for unconditional withdrawal of the writ petition, a request that was not opposed by the State’s APP, Mr. C.D. Mali, or the respondent’s counsel, Mr. Shailesh D. Chavan. The Court, after noting the unopposed request, granted leave to withdraw the petition. Consequently, the writ petition was disposed of as withdrawn. No substantive merits of the original reliefs were adjudicated.
