3.       The prosecution case is set out in Paragraph No.2 of the

Order dated 19th August 2026 passed by the learned Sessions

Judge, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Pune, in Criminal Bail Application

No.984 of 2026, which reads as under:


        “2]     The First Information Report was lodged by the
        informant, Suraj Yadav, alleging that the incident took
        place on 11th December 2025 at around 1:30 a.m. At the
        time of the incident, all the accused persons allegedly
        assaulted the informant with sticks and gave kick and fist
        blows, as he was not attending the marriage ceremony of
        sister of Sunny Yadav. The incident was reported to the
        police station. Based on his report, crime No. 595/2025
        was registered. He is apprehending arrest at the hands of
        police. Hence, prayed for protection.”

4.       Thus, the incident had taken place on a very small issue of

not attending the marriage ceremony of the sister of the friend of

Accused No.1.


5.       Perusal of the record shows that the incident has taken place

on a very minor issue of not attending the marriage ceremony of

the sister of the friend of Accused No.1.


6.       There are two criminal antecedents against the Applicant.


7.       The Charge-sheet has already been filed against the other

Accused.

8.      Although there are two criminal antecedents against the

Applicant, in the facts and circumstances, case is made out for
