This Application is filed under Section 483 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for short “BNSS”) in connection with C.R.No. 543 of 2025 registered with Sant Tukaram Nagar Police Station, Pimpri Chinchwad, Pune for offences punishable under Sections 109(1), 352, 351(2), 351(3), 3(5) & 324(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (for short “BNS”). 3.

BA 3650-2026.doc Applicant’s friend, who was a minor and juvenile. The Applicant went to reason out with them and in the skirmish had slapped the injured victim which led to a confrontation and a free for all fight between both the groups. Hearing the commotion, 3-4 other persons, who were friends of the Complainant also entered into the fight. Some of the persons were below 18 years of age. The FIR has been lodged two days later. The Medical Certificate of the Applicant having been treated for an injury over his right leg is appended at page No.91. 4. Considering that there was no pre-meditation whatsoever in the incident in question having been planned by the Applicant, as it happened on the spur of the moment in view of the Applicant having approached the injured victim and questioned him about his conduct, I am inclined to consider the case of the Applicant for grant of bail. Insofar as the injury that occurred, it is seen that there is no specific weapon involved and prosecution case is based on either side having used glass pieces, keys & scooter keys during the fist fight which occurred. In the said fight, the Activa Scooter of the injured victim was also damaged which enraged the victim and his friends which led to the confrontation. In view of the aforesaid facts, there is specific motive ascribed and no pre-mediation plan to commit the crime, and hence, considering the age of the Applicant, I am inclined to accept the case Anand 2 of 5 14. BA 3650-2026.doc for bail. 5. Hence, in view of above prima facie observations and finding, Bail Application of Applicant is allowed subject to the following terms and conditions:- (i) Applicant – Rohit alias Bhurya Siddharth Kamble is directed to be immediately released from prison in connection with CR.
