The Applicant has filed this application under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, as he apprehends arrest.

The proceedings relate to Crime No.0198/2025 registered by Shirdi Police Station, District Ahilyanagar. FIR has been registered on 23 February 2025 at 19:53 hours. Occurrence of the offence is shown on 22 February 2025. The informant is one Chhaburao Bhadange, aged 50 years. The offences alleged under the FIR are under Sections 118(2), 3(5), 324(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

It appears from the FIR that the incident relates to quarrel between the persons mentioned in the FIR which aggravated into assault. It appears that neither is the Applicant named in the FIR, nor is any role attributed to him. His name surfaces through supplementary statement of the informant, which was recorded on 03 March 2025. Apart from this, there are no specific allegations against this Applicant. Thus, the ingredients of the alleged offences qua this Applicant are not attracted at this stage.

The learned Advocate for the Applicant states that the Applicant and the Informant are from the same village. The Applicant has no criminal antecedents.
