Mr. Dwivendra Dbey, a/w Ashish Saxena, for the Petitioner. Mr. Ashish Satpute, APP for the State.

CORAM:

N. J. JAMADAR, J.

DATED:

2nd APRIL, 2026 PC:- 1.

Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner. 2.

The challenge in this petition is to an order dated 5th December, 2025, whereby the learned Sessions Judge has declined to grant ad-interim relief during the pendency of the revision application.

SANTOSH SUBHASH KULKARNI SANTOSH SUBHASH KULKARNI Date: 2026.04.04 12:13:20 +0530 3.

The petitioner had initially approached this Court in Criminal WP/5590/2025. By an order dated 7th November, 2025, this Court had requested the learned Sessions Judge to hear the application for stay to the order impugned before the Court of Session in Revision Application No.205/2025 on 5th December, 2025, positively. In adherence to the aforesaid 1/2

15-WP1459-2026.DOC request, the learned Sessions Judge has decided the application by ascribing reasons.

4.

The challenge before the Court of Session is to an order of issuance of process against the petitioner for the offences punishable under Sections 120B, 406, 420, 464, 467, 468, 471 and 506 of the India Penal Code, 1860 ("the Penal Code"). The challenge to the said order is sub-judice before the learned Sessions Judge in Revision Application No.205/2025. The learned Sessions Judge has rejected the prayer to grant the adinterim relief by ascribing reasons. 5.

Such order is not susceptible for interference in exercise of the supervisory jurisdiction. It would, however, be expedient that the learned Sessions Judge decides the revision application itself as expeditiously as possible.

6.

The petition, thus, stands disposed with a request to the learned Sessions Judge to hear and decide the Criminal Revision Application as expeditiously as possible and, preferably, within a period of four months from the date of communication of this order.
