CORAM:- URMILA JOSHI-PHALKE, J.
DATED :- JULY 24, 2025.
Apprehending the arrest at the hands of Police in connection with Crime No.319/2025 registered with Police Station Risod, District Washim for the offences punishable under Sections 109, 118(1), 189(2), 189(4), 190, 191(2), 191(3) 351(2), 351(3) and 352 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, the applicants approached to this Court for grant of pre arrest bail.
2.
Learned Counsel for the applicants submitted that due to the previous dispute the alleged incident has taken place and in the said incident both the party members have sustained the injuries. There are cross-complaints filed regarding the said incident. He submitted that, the another Crime No.320/2025 is registered regarding the said incident wherein the accused are already protected by this Court by granting anticipatory bail by observing that in a free fight both the party members have sustained the injuries. As far as the custodial interrogation is concerned, the applicants have
already cooperated with the investigating agency and produced the weapon before the Investigating Officer. In view of that, their custodial interrogation is not required and they be released on anticipatory bail.
3.
Learned APP strongly opposed the said application and submitted that considering the fact that the injured has sustained the grievous injuries and the custodial interrogation of the present applicants is required. In view of that, the application deserves to be rejected. At the same time, she fairly submitted that the applicants have cooperated with the investigating agency and weapons are produced.
4.
On hearing both the sides and on perusal of the recitals of the FIR, it reveals that in a scuffle took place between both the parties both party members have sustained injuries. Now, the applicants have already attended the concerned police station. The weapons are already seized, therefore, the custodial interrogation of the present applicants is not required. In view of that, the application deserves to be allowed. Accordingly, I proceed to pass the following order:
(i) The application is allowed.
(ii) In the event of the arrest, the applicants - 1) Dashrath Vishwanath More and 2) Akash Baburao Jumade in connection with Crime
