It is the submission of Mr. Kapadnis, learned Counsel appearing for the Applicants that there is a cross FIR being CR No.517 of 2025 registered under Section 109, 308(5), 189,

189(1), 189(2), 190, 352, 351(2) of BNS and 3 and 7 of Criminal Amendment Act, 2013 registered with Chinchwad Police Station on 04th December 2025 at 17:39 and the subject FIR has been lodged, subsequently, as a counter blast being CR No.518 of 2025 registered on 4th December 2025 at 21:03 i.e. after about 4 hours. He submits that the allegations against the Applicant is that he assaulted the injured by glass. He submits that the Applicant has been grievously injured and he is still in the hospital. He further submits that the Applicants are not involved in the crime and therefore, Anticipatory Bail Application be granted. 5.

On the other hand, Ms. Yadav, learned APP, strongly opposes the Anticipatory Bail Application. She submits that the offence is very serious. She further submits that the Applicants are involved in the crime and the Applicant has one antecedent. 6.

Perusal of the records shows that the subject FIR being CR No.518 of 2025 is the cross FIR. In said FIR the Accused No.1 is the First Informant in prior F.I.R. being C.R. No.517 of 2025. After the lodging of earlier FIR being C.R. No.517 of 2025, subsequently, after about 4 hours the subject FIR has been filed being CR No.518

of 2025. The Applicant is grievously injured in the incident and still he is in the hospital. Thus, prima facie the subject FIR has been filed as a counter blast to the FIR which has been filed by the Accused No.1. Although, there is one antecedent, the same is arising out of family dispute and for very minor reason. Accordingly, in the facts and circumstances custodial interrogation is not necessary and the case is made out for grant of Anticipatory Bail.

7.

In view thereof, the following order is passed:
