High Court of Gujarat

WAQARBHAI S/O ABDUL KADAR SHEIKHversusSTATE OF GUJARAT

Disposal: 38-RULE ABSOLUTE/ALLOWED @ FH
Bench: P M RAVAL

Holding

The Court held that the applications must have their office objections removed by 2 July 2025, otherwise they will be dismissed for non‑prosecution.

Summary

The petitioners, Pravin Karshan Bhut (Koli) and others, filed a series of criminal miscellaneous applications—including applications for quashing the FIR, setting aside orders, and seeking stays—against the State of Gujarat and another respondent. The High Court noted that several of these applications were still subject to office objections that had not been removed. The Court directed that all such objections be cleared on or before 2 July 2025, and warned that failure to do so would result in dismissal of the matters for non‑prosecution. It further ordered that any interim relief previously granted would continue until the compliance date. The order was pronounced by Justice J.C. Doshi of the Gujarat High Court.
