While granting bail, vide order dated 13th June 2025, this Court imposed, inter alia, a condition that:

"C] The applicant shall not enter into the limits of Districts - Pune and Solapur except to attend the dates before the trial Court till conclusion of the trial".

3.

Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant had contested the election for the post of Corporator and was elected. During the election period, the said condition was relaxed for a period of 40 days. Now that the applicant has been elected, it is necessary for him to enter District Solapur. He further submitted that the mention of District Pune in the bail conditions is inadvertent, as there is no material on record requiring the applicant to be restrained from entering Pune. 4.

Learned APP vehemently opposed the application and prayed for its rejection.

5.

As the applicant has been elected and is now a Corporator of Pandharpur, Condition No. 'C' of the operative part of order dated 13th June 2025, restraining him from entering Districts Solapur and Pune, is relaxed.

6.

The interim application stands disposed of.
