Akola for the offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 452, 427, 323, 504, 506 and 188 of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner was arrested on 18.06.2020 at 3:57 hours.

The said document would show that when the petitioner was produced before the learned Magistrate, the learned Magistrate inquired with him in respect of any ill-treatment at the hands of the police, when he was in police custody remand. The order dated 18.06.2020 passed by the learned Magistrate, while taking the petitioner in Magisterial custody remand, would show that upon inquiry the petitioner did not make any complaint about the ill-treatment. If that been so, there is no merit in the writ petition.

The writ petition is accordingly rejected.
