It is the prosecution's case that on 10th October 2025, the applicant and co-accused and two unknown persons gave dash to the motorcycle of the first informant, when the first informant confronted with the applicant and co-accused, it is alleged that applicant and coaccused assaulted the first informant with stone, fist and kick blows, snatched gold chain and Rayban goggle and threatened the complainant to kill him.

It is contention of learned counsel for applicant that the applicant had filed complaint against the first informant. To counter it, present complaint is filed. In counter case, the first informant and other co-accused have been released after giving notice. Considering the allegations against the applicant, his custodial interrogation is not required. Hence, requested to allow the application. 4.

It is contention of learned APP that applicant and coaccused assaulted the first informant with fist and kick blows and stone, snatched gold chain and Rayban goggle from his custody. Considering the allegations against the applicant, his custodial interrogation is required. Hence, requested to reject the application. 5.

I have heard both learned counsels, perused F.I.R. and documents produced on record. It appears from the record that the applicant and first informant have filed cross complaints against each other. The first informant has been granted bail by giving notice by police. The injuries suffered by the first informant are simple in nature.
