P.C. :

This is an application for anticipatory bail in connection with C.R.No.I-42 of 2021, registered with Bazarpeth Police Station, Kalyan, District-Thane, for the ofences punishable under Sections 354, 323, 504 and 506 of Indian Penal Code ("IPC", for short). First Information Report ("FIR", for short) was Digitally signed by RajeP. Aher Date:

2021.03.30 15:25:29 +0530 RajeP.

Aher lodged on 20th February, 2021. The complainant has alleged that she is residing at Shamim Nashikkar building along with other family members since last nine years. Her father has obtained the flat in the said building on Pagdi basis from one Ibrahim.

rpa 2/4 15 aba 815 2021.doc The building is owned by Shamim Nashikkar. On 20th February, 2021, sons of the owner of the building, namely, Shahid Nashikkar and Quaid Nashikkar (applicant) had visited the building. They went on the terrace of the building and started demolishing the shed by drill machine on the terrace. Quaid Nashikkar (applicant) abused her by threatening that he would see how she is not vacating the room and that the building would be demolished. He also threatened complainant's mother that she would be thrown down from the building. He pushed complainant's mother. She fell on the terrace. He also pushed the complainant by touching her chest. During the scufe, her gown was torn.

Learned advocate for the applicant submitted that the FIR is lodged to falsely implicate the applicant in the crime. Father of the applicant is the owner of the said building. The building is in a dilapidated condition. Structural report was obtained. Applicant relies on photographs with regards to the condition of the building.

The applicant has produced letter of Kalyan Dombivali Municipal Corporation dated 27th February, 2021,

rpa 3/4 15 aba 815 2021.doc which refers to the fact that the building is in a dangerous condition. The said letter was written in response to the letter dated 18th February, 2021, written by Shamim Nashikkar. Learned APP submitted that there is no reason to fle a false complaint against the applicant. Pursuant to the registration of FIR, N.C. complaint was lodged against the applicant by the complainant. The punchanama supports the prosecution case. Specifc role has been attributed to the applicant.

From the documents on record, it appears that the father of the applicant is owner of the building. From the nature of threats issued to the complainant, it appears that the applicant wanted that the complainant should vacate the premises. The building was apparently in a dilapidated condition. There appears to be dispute between both the parties. During the scufe, complainant's gown was torn. Possibility of false implication cannot be ruled out.

Considering the factual aspects of the case, the applicant need not be subjected to custodial interrogation.
