Since the Applicant is apprehending arrest in connection with Crime No.0167/2025 registered with Ausa Police Station, Dist. Latur for the offence punishable under Sections 318(4), 115(2), 352, 351(2), 351(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (for short, 'BNS'), this Application is filed under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for short, 'BNSS') for Anticipatory Bail. 2.
Heard the learned Advocate for the Applicant and the learned APP for the State. Perused the papers on record. 3.
The case of the Prosecution, in brief, is that, the Informant sold his agricultural land on 09.09.2011 and he received Rs.1,25,00,000/- (Rs.One Crore Twenty Five Lakh) as consideration amount. The Applicant took the said amount from him and did not return. Earlier
the Informant had lodged the Report against the Applicant for the same transaction and Crime bearing No.160/2016 came to be registered, which was withdrawn as the Applicant promised to repay the money. However, the amount was not returned by the Applicant. Thereafter, on 29.02.2024, when the Informant requested the Applicant to return the amount, in the office of the Grampanchayat at village Yeli, in the presence of the respected persons from the village, at that time the Applicant had given written promise to return the amount. However, the amount was not returned. On 25.04.2025 when the Informant demanded the amount, the Applicant abused, threatened and pushed him and therefore, the above crime (Crime No.0167/2025) is registered against the Applicant.
4.
The papers show that, for the same transaction, the Informant had earlier lodged the Report. The same case came to be closed. Thereafter, he preferred the private Complaint before the concerned Magistrate which came to be dismissed for want of Prosecution. 5.
In view of the above, the case for Interim Protection is made out. Hence, the following order :
