Bombay High Court
SAYYED JAVED ALI ANSAR ALIversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ANOTHER
- Disposal
- DISPOSED OFF
Holding
The petition is dismissed as the subject matter is already pending before a criminal court.
Summary
Petitioner Sayyed Javed Ali Ansar Ali filed a criminal writ petition seeking a direction for an independent inquiry into alleged abetment and registration of charges against proposed accused. No counsel appeared for the petitioner. The Court noted that a criminal proceeding (R.C.C. No. 144 of 2014 concerning FIR No. 161 of 2013) was already pending. Since the matter was already before a criminal court, the petition had no remaining ground. Consequently, the Court disposed of the writ petition.
Issues considered
- What relief, if any, can a High Court grant in a criminal writ petition when a regular criminal proceeding on the same matter is already pending?
Subjects
- criminal procedure
- writ petition
- pending criminal case
- independent inquiry
- abatement

CORAM : SANDIPKUMAR C. MORE AND
VAISHALI PATIL-JADHAV, JJ.
DATE : SEPTEMBER 02, 2026
PER COURT :
1) None appears for the petitioner.
2) Although the petition is filed seeking direction
to conduct independent enquiry into the alleged crime of
abetment and to register the offence against the proposed
accused, the report of Resource Personnel of this Court
dated 01.09.2026 clearly indicates that R.C.C. No.
144 of 2014 relating to the F.I.R. bearing Crime No.
161 of 2013 is already pending.
3) In view of the above, nothing survives in the
present petition. Criminal Writ Petition, therefore, stands
disposed of.
