No. 40 of 2008.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Raj Thackeray filed the discharge application on the grounds that there is no evidence to show the commitment of the alleged crime, but the Trial Court rejected the application. Aggrieved by the same, Raj Thackeray filed a criminal revision application before Sessions Court. It was dismissed again with the observation that there is material on record to show his involvement in the alleged offence through specific allegations connecting the dots.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court in the instant matter opined that the Revisional Court was obliged to prima facie discuss\/indicate material which, according to the Sessions Court, is against Raj Thackeray. In addition, it further commented that perusal of revisional order does not refer to any such material indicating Raj Thackeray&#8217;s involvement, thus, the Court could not dismiss the revision based on vague reasons of material on record.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court found it necessary to remand the proceedings back to the revisional Court and accordingly ordered the Additional Sessions Judge to decide the Criminal Revision Application in accordance with the law. The Court quashed and set aside the judgment and order dated 3-2-2023.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Raj Shrikant Thackeray v.
