Date : 24/09/2026 PER COURT : 1. Though learned counsel, holding for Mr. Ostwal, sought time to obtain proper instructions, but upon perusal of the prayers made in the present petition, it appears that the petitioner is seeking a direction for registration of an FIR pursuant to his complaint. 2. However, it appears that an FIR has already been registered in the matter vide Crime No. 342 of 2024 at Rahuri Police Station for the offences punishable under Section 302 of the IPC and Sections 3 and 25 of the Arms Act. Though it is contended by the petitioner that the FIR has not been registered in accordance with the version set out by him, but there is no specific prayer seeking any relief in that regard. In the circumstances, when the FIR has already been VS Maind/ Page|1 2026:BHC-AUG:44082-DB 918 wp 1044-23 . registered and the charge-sheet has also been filed, we are not inclined to grant any further relief in favour of the petitioner. Accordingly, the petition stands disposed of. [VAISHALI PATIL-JADHAV] [SANDIPKUMAR C. MORE] JUDGE JUDGE VS Maind/ Page|2
