Bombay High Court

AMIT S/O NAVNEET GANDHIversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The petition was dismissed as the investigation was already completed and no relief could be granted.

Summary

Amit filed a criminal writ petition seeking the transfer of investigation of FIR No. 259 of 2018, registered at Police Station Lohar, Osmanabad, to the CBI or CID. The Court examined the Resource Personnel report dated 19.08.2026, which indicated that the investigation had already been completed and a regular criminal case (R.C.C. No. 81 of 2020) was pending before the court at Lohara. Since the investigation was concluded, there was no basis to entertain a transfer application. Consequently, the Court held that nothing remained for adjudication. The petition was therefore disposed of.

CORAM : SANDIPKUMAR C. MORE AND
VAISHALI PATIL-JADHAV, JJ.
DATE : AUGUST 20, 2026
PER COURT :
1) Although the learned counsel for the petitioner seeks
time to take instructions, the petition is filed for transfer of
investigation of F.I.R. bearing Crime No. 259 of 2018 on
03.12.2018 Police Station Lohar, Dist. Osmanabad, to
Central Bureau of Investigation (C.B.I.) or Criminal
Investigation Department (C.I.D.).

2) However, the report of the Resource Personnel of this
Court dated 19.08.2026 clearly indicates that the
investigation of the aforesaid F.I.R. is completed and R.C.C.
No. 81 of 2020 has already been registered. The said R.C.C.
case is pending before the Court at Lohara.

3) As such, nothing survives in the present petition.
Criminal Writ Petition, therefore, stands disposed of.
