Mr. A.C. Darandale, Advocate for Applicant.

Mr. R. S. Wani, APP for the State.

CORAM : ADVAIT M. SETHNA, J.

DATE : 9 JULY, 2025.

P. C. :

1.

Heard the learned Advocates for the parties.

2.

At the very outset, the attention of the Court is invited to the order dated 18 June 2025 by which, the Applicant was protected by way of an interim order on certain terms and conditions which have been set out therein. The details of the incident as well as the FIR have been noted in the said order.

3.

The learned APP would today submit that the injury during the alleged assault inflicted on the Informant is of simple nature as far as injury on the right eyebrow is concerned. However, another injury is described as grievous which is in the nature of fracture on the metacarpal bone with associated soft tissue swelling. It appears from the record that the Informant has recovered and is not suffering any hospitalisation. As far as prima facie case is

- 2 - concerned, there is nothing further brought on record by the prosecution further and pursuant to the order dated 18 June 2025. In the peculiar facts, there is no question of any recovery. There are no criminal antecedents as far as the present Applicant is concerned. It is not disputed by the prosecution that the Applicant has cooperated with the investigation in terms of the order dated 18 June 2025 and has complied with those terms and conditions. 4.

Considering the above, the interim order dated 18 June 2025 is made absolute. The following order, in my view, would meet the ends of justice :-

ORDER

(i) In the event of arrest of the applicant in connection with C.R. No. 0260/2025, registered with Kopargaon Police Station, Dist. Ahilyanagar, for the offences punishable under Sections 132, 121(1), 121(2), 115(2), 352, 351(2) of the BNS, the applicant is directed to be released on bail on furnishing PR bond in the sum of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand Only) with one solvent surety in the like amount.

(ii) The applicant shall attend the concerned Police Station as and when required until filing of the chargesheet and co-operate with the investigation.

If there is any change in the contact details, the same shall be immediately informed to the concerned police station. (iv) The applicant shall not leave the jurisdiction of the Court without prior permission of the Court, until

- 3 - further orders.

(v) He shall not contact and/or influence the witness/es and/or tamper with the evidence in any manner whatsoever.

5.

6.
