Ashutosh Abhyankar and Anr. v. State of Maharashtra and Anr.
Case brief
What is this about?
Maintainability of revision against bail order; State's Revision Application No. 225 in C.R. No. 69/2024 challenging Magistrate's orders granting judicial custody and release of accused on bail; Sessions Judge's order dated 19.12.2025 rejected maintainability objection and opined revision primarily assails refusal of police custody; Bombay HC (Jamadar, J.) clarifies Sessions Judge must specifically decide that bail order is not amenable to revision and bail cannot be cancelled via revisional power; petition disposed.
What did the court decide?
Clarification/direction that the learned Sessions Judge, while deciding the revision application, shall specifically deal with and decide the contentions that an order granting bail is not amenable to revision and that bail cannot be cancelled in exercise of revisional power; the petition was disposed of subject to this clarification. The substantive maintainability question itself was left open for decision by the Sessions Judge.
