DATE : 21st JANUARY, 2025 P.C. :- 1.

By this Petition, the Petitioner/Accused prays for quashing of the F.I.R. No.1090, dated 24th December, 2024, registered with the Shikrapur Police Station, Pune (Rural). Section 74, 189 (2), 191 (2), 190, 352, 351 (2), 351 (3), of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 have been invoked. According to the learned Advocate for the Petitioner, no offence is made out from the contents of the F.I.R, and even if the case is tried, there would be an acquittal. According to him, the Petitioner has been falsely

implicated and a false story has been narrated in the F.I.R. 3.

We have perused the F.I.R. in the light of the submissions of the learned Advocate for the Petitioner. His primary contention is that an offence of outraging the modesty of a women is not established until the person exerts force upon the body of the women. This submission is fallacious and deserves to be discarded. 4.

We find from the F.I.R. that the Complainant, who is a lady of 24 years of age, has mentioned as under :- "

तेव्हामीतेथेजातअसतानाचत्यातीलअभिषेकबाळासाहेबटेभिरे यानेआमचेघराकडेतोंडकरूनलघवीकरूलाला.

त्यामुळेमला लज्जाभिनमा"णझाली.

5.

In view of the above, we find prima facie that an offence is made out. The Hon'ble Supreme Court has held in (a) State of Odisha vs. Pratima Mohanty and others, (2022) 16 SCC

703, (b) Kim Wansoo vs. State of Uttar Pradesh 7 Others, 2025 SCC OnLine SC 17, (c) Central Bureau of Investgation vs. Aryan Singh Etc., AIR 2023 SC 1987, that the High Court should not indulge in a mini trial while dealing with the proceeding under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C.

6.

In view of the above, this Criminal Writ Petition is dismissed.
