Heard.

We find the victim to be minor. Her statement that she does not want to prosecute the matter cannot help the cause of the petitioner in the present case.

Learned APP is justified in opposing the request for quashing of the FIR.

However, we keep the contention of the petitioner open. With these observations, we dispose of the writ petition. (NITIN W. SAMBRE, J.) (B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J.) nilegaonkar 1/1
