Mangesh Babu Rewale v. State of Maharashtra and Anr.
Case brief
What is this about?
Short adjournment order, Bombay High Court Kolhapur Circuit Bench (25-11-2025), on an interim application (Cr.IA. 2297/2025) in Criminal Appeal No. 784/2025 seeking suspension of sentence and bail for Mangesh Babu Rewale, in custody since 16-03-2013 (12+ years). Court inclined to grant bail in ordinary course, but deferred because of a pending trial under S. 376 IPC (Special Case No. 18 of 2011); listed for 07-01-2026. Keywords: suspension of sentence, bail pending appeal, prolonged incarceration, pending Section 376 IPC trial, adjournment.
What did the court decide?
Because the applicant is additionally facing a trial for an offence under Section 376 IPC (Special Case No. 18 of 2011), consideration of the suspension-of-sentence application was deferred: learned counsel for the applicant sought time to take instructions and make further submissions, and the matter was listed for 7 January 2026.
