Bombay High Court

ASHOK S/O. CHHAGAN CHAUDHARIversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: SANDIPKUMAR C MORE VAISHALI PATIL JADHAV

Holding

The petitions were disposed as there was no surviving cause of action.

Summary

The High Court of Bombay, Aurangabad Bench, heard three criminal writ petitions (Nos. 468, 469 and 470 of 2019) filed by Ashok, Pratap and Subhash respectively against the State of Maharashtra and others. The petitioners submitted purshis dated 24‑02‑2020 stating that they had already received the full amount of their dues, together with interest, from the respondent bank on 20‑02‑2020. The court examined the resource personnel report dated 03‑07‑2026 which confirmed the receipt of the dues by the petitioners. Finding that the relief sought in the petitions was no longer required and that no cause of action remained, the court held that there was nothing left to adjudicate. Consequently, all three petitions were ordered to stand disposed. The judgment was delivered by Judges Sandipkumar C. More and Vaishali Patil‑Jadhav on 7 July 2026.

Issues considered

Whether the criminal writ petitions remain maintainable after the petitioners have received the full dues with interest from the respondent bank.
