Summary: The hearing for Shivaji @ Shivajirao Janardan Dhumal's case has been postponed. The court session, led by Justice M. M. Sathaye, was cut short, and new dates have been set for September.
On August 19, 2025, the High Court of Bombay had to limit its work to just half a day. Justice M. M. Sathaye was in charge of the session. Because of this shortened schedule, several cases, including Shivaji Dhumal's, couldn't be heard.
"Because of today’s notice limiting the work until 12:30 PM, the following matters...could not be taken up for discussion."
The cases that weren't addressed will now be heard on September 9, 2025. They are part of the group of cases where people are asking for permission to avoid arrest. This means Shivaji's case is among those waiting for a new date to be discussed.
For Shivaji and others in similar situations, there’s a bit of good news. Any temporary protection they currently have will continue until the new hearing date. This means they won't face immediate legal consequences until their cases are discussed.
"Temporary protection, if any, to continue until the next date."
For now, Shivaji Dhumal and others in the same situation will have to wait until September for their cases to be discussed. This delay gives them a little more time to prepare for their upcoming court appearances.
