Shivshankar Pralhad Regude vs State of Maharashtra Advocate - DGP — 52/2026

The court granted anticipatory bail to Shivshankar Pralhad Regude, finding that while a prima facie case under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act was made out against co-accused Vishnu Bhalekar for caste-based abuse, no such case existed against the applicant, whose alleged abusive statements did not target the victim's caste. The court imposed stringent conditions including a personal bond of ₹50,000, weekly police attendance, and a prohibition on entering the complainant's village until charge-sheet filing.
