Bombay High Court
SHAHEEN IBRAHIM SULTANversusSTATE OF MAHARASHTRA
- Decided
- Disposal
- Disposed Off
Holding
The writ petition is dismissed and disposed of.
Summary
Shaheen Ibrahim Sultan filed a criminal writ petition seeking a stay of his custody in Canada from 5 July 2021 to 6 June 2022. The petitioner also requested that a Rs.1 lakh deposit made under the order dated 3 November 2020 not be forfeited. The petition was filed after the period for which the stay was sought had already elapsed, rendering the relief sought infructuous. The Court noted that the prayer clause had become moot and therefore could not be granted. Consequently, the Court dismissed the writ petition and ordered its disposal, leaving the deposit matter unresolved.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner is entitled to an extension of stay in Canada for the period sought
- Whether the Rs.1 lakh deposit made in compliance with the earlier order can be retained despite the dismissal
Subjects
- stay of proceedings
- foreign stay
- forfeiture of deposit
- criminal writ petition
- moot relief
