Holding

The petition was dismissed as infructuous because the filing of the charge‑sheet made the relief sought moot.

Summary

The petitioner, Sachin Sudam Pardeshi, filed a writ petition in the Bombay High Court challenging the continuation of criminal proceedings. The petition was filed in the context of C.R. No. 1264 of 2019 registered at Chakan Police Station, Pune. The police, represented by PSI Morkhande, submitted that the investigation was complete and a charge‑sheet had been filed. The court noted that the filing of the charge‑sheet rendered the petition moot and infructuous. Consequently, the judges disposed of the petition without further hearing. The order was signed by Justices A.S. Gadkari and Kamal Khata on 31 July 2026.
