Bombay High Court

KIRAN PREMJIBHAI PATELversusSTATE OF MAHARASHTRA

Decided: 8 January 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off
Bench: A S GADKARI SHYAM C CHANDAK

Holding

The petition is dismissed as the cause of action does not survive.

Summary

The petitioner, Kiran Premjibhai Patel, filed a criminal writ petition seeking parole leave, alleging that his sister-in-law was solemnising a marriage on 15 December 2024 and that this justified his release. The petition was filed in the High Court of Bombay. The court examined the petition and found that the alleged ground did not constitute a surviving cause of action at the time of filing. Consequently, the court held that the petition was untenable. The petition was therefore disposed of without granting parole.

Issues considered

Whether the petitioner is entitled to parole leave on the ground of a family marriage ceremony.
Whether a cause of action subsists for the petition at the time of filing.
