As seen from the record, the Petitioner has been injudiCial Custody from o8.02.2025.
As seen from the allegations made, simply because the petitioner alleged to be forcibly turned the Vehicle, it |lS doubtful aS tO the ingredients of an offence under section 109(1) of BNS applies to the Present case on hand as the petitioner was also travelling in the vehicle and if any accident occurred, he will also sustain injuries. 8.
