916 CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 1395 OF 2020 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD 916 CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 1395 OF 2020 Abdul Sajid Abdul Gaffar Versus The State Of Maharashtra And Others __________________________________________________________ Adv. Kapil V. Morey h/f. Adv. Gadhe Ganesh A. for the Petitioner Mr. Rajdeep D. Raut, APP for State __________________________________________________________ CORAM : SANDIPKUMAR C. MORE AND VAISHALI PATIL-JADHAV, JJ. DATE : AUGUST 28, 2026 PER COURT : 1) Though the learned counsel submits that this petition is preferred for seeking compensation of Rs.20,00,000/- for violation of the petitioner's fundamental rights at the hands of the police, and further to quash the criminal proceedings arising out of FIR No. 404/2019 registered with the New Mondha Police Station, District Parbhani, the report of the Resource Personnel of this Court dated 25.08.2026 indicates otherwise. 2) It appears from the report that the said criminal proceeding, being Sessions Case No. 246/2023, is pending before the Court of the District and Sessions Judge, Komal Kamble 2026:BHC-AUG:39031-DB 916 CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 1395 OF 2020 Parbhani, wherein the petitioner is arraigned as Accused No. 43. The said Sessions Case is next scheduled on 19.12.2026 for recording evidence before the 3rd Ad-hoc District Judge and Additional Sessions Judge, Parbhani. 3) Thus, the prayer for seeking compensation appears to be premature at this juncture. Furthermore, since the trial has already commenced, the prayer for quashing the proceedings does not survive. In view of the same, the Criminal Writ Petition stands disposed of.
