The crime is registered on the basis of report lodged by Roshan Ramraoji Wasnik on an allegation that there was some dispute on account of hand loan amount given to the complainant by the other co-accused.

3.

Learned APP strongly opposed the said application and submitted that the role of assault is attributed to the child in conflict with law.

In view of that, the application deserves to be rejected.
