Authority: High Court of Judicature at Bombay, Criminal Appellate Jurisdiction
Order Date: August 28, 2026
Case Overview
- Applicant: Ajay Pramod Shrivastav; Respondent: State of Maharashtra.
- The applicant sought to overturn the order dated 17-03-2026 which allowed cancellation of bail originally granted on 27-12-2017 by the Sessions Court, alleging no criminal intent in alleged alienation of twelve NDTA properties.
- Intervenors (including Satish Philip Kalsekar and others) opposed the application, raising issues of property alienation, board resolutions dated 14.04.2023, and potential civil disputes.
- The bail condition required the applicant, a director, to execute a Rs.30,000 P.R. bond, cooperate with investigation, not tamper with evidence, attend Sarkarwada police station as required, not misuse his position as director, not alienate any NDTA property, not withdraw cash of NDTA with criminal intent, and attend all court dates.
Final Outcome
- Justice Milind N. Jadhav held the 17-03-2026 order unsustainable, quashing and setting it aside.
- The application for cancellation of bail dated 13-10-2025 was rejected; the original bail order of 27-12-2017 remains confirmed.
- Any non-bailable warrant issued pursuant to the cancelled order was also cancelled.
- Pending interim applications No. 2699/2026 and 2605/2026 were disposed of without adjudicating intervenors’ merits.
