                      P. C.

                      1.      Heard Mr. Pondkule, learned Counsel for the Applicant and

                      Mr. Karmakar, learned APP for the Respondent – State.

                      2.      This Application is filed under Section 483 of the Bhartiya

                      Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for short “BNSS”) in connection with

                      C.R.No. 888 of 2025 registered with Yavat Police Station, Pune(Rural)

                      for offences punishable under Sections 109 & 3(5) of the Bharatiya

                      Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (for short “BNS”) and under Sections 4 & 25 of

                      the Arms Act.

                      3.      The Applicant before me is a young offender. He is indicted in a

                      crime for causing grievous hurt. The Injury Certificates are appended at

                      page Nos. 24 & 25 and they have been perused by me. There are some

fractures to some persons but a major number of the injuries are simple

in nature. The incident in question is such that the injured witness and

his friends insisted performance of lavni dance for their pleasure and

insisted the girls to dance and perform not with standing the fact that it

was too late in the night and the in charge of the Kala Kendra, where

the said dances were performed persuaded them to come on the

following day. It appears that this may be the probable reason for the

verbal altercation and the skirmish which took place. Though according

to the prosecution case, a completely innocuous and different reason

has been given that the Applicant along with his friends came on the

scene of crime and started assaulting the injured victim and his friends.

The witness statements, however, prima facie show that there is no

nexus whatsoever with regard to the reason given as stated in the FIR.

After reading the witness statements and the FIR, it is       prima facie

clear that the incident in question occurred because of the insistence

on the part of injured victim and his friends. Be that as it may,

considering the fact that the Applicant is a young offender and he is

already incarcerated for 11 months, I am inclined to accept the case of

the Applicant for allowing him to bail.

5.      Hence, in view of above prima facie observations and finding,

Bail Application of Applicant is allowed subject to the following terms
