The applicant is apprehending arrest in connection with Crime No. 251/2024 dated 30.7.2024 registered with Kotwali Police Station, Parbhani, District Parbhani for the offences punishable under sections 306 of I.P.C. 3.

This Court by order dated 24.10.2024 has granted interim protection to the applicant by noting submissions at para 1, as under :- "1.

Learned counsel for the Applicant, on instructions, makes statement that there was a transaction of advancement of Rs. 500/- by the Applicant to the deceased and he had sought repayment of the same. Further, on instructions, statement is made that Applicant made only one phone call to the deceased and there is only one chat between them. Screenshot of the same is placed on record and marked 'x' for identification."

ABA 1825/24 and the applicant. The learned advocate assisting APP submits that the learned APP has not verified the whatapp chat and calls which would be reflected from the phone of the deceased.

However, as of now, there is no material on record to show how the applicant is responsible for the suicide of the deceased or how the applicant has instigated the deceased to commit the suicide. Considering this aspect and considering the interim order dated 24.10.24, I hold that the interim protection granted earlier can be confirmed.
