KISHOR S/O NARAYAN DAWALEversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The petition stands disposed as there is nothing left to adjudicate after the case was committed to the Sessions Court.

Summary

The petitioner, Kishor, filed a criminal writ petition seeking a direction to transfer the investigation of Crime No.24/2023 registered at Sonai Police Station, Tq. Newasa, Dist. Ahmednagar. He also referred to a related RCC No.417/2025. The respondent State contended that the case has already been committed to the Sessions Court, with Sessions Case No.60/2025 pending.

Accordingly, the Court held that the petition stands disposed as nothing survives, and the petition was dismissed.
