Order 110826aba634.26 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. CRIMINAL APPLICATION [ABA] NO. 634 OF 2026. Mohammad Waseem Mohammad Shafi -VERSUS- State of Maharashtra Office notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court’s or Judge’s Orders or directions and Registrar’s orders. Shri T.U. Tathod, Advocate for the Applicant. Shri U.R. Phasate, A.P.P. for the Non-applicant. CORAM : M.M. NERLIKAR, J. DATE : AUGUST 11, 2026. Heard. 2. The applicant is apprehending his arrest in connection with Crime No.382/2026 registered with Karanja (Rural) Nagar Police Station, District Washim for the offences punishable under Sections 118[2], 352, 351[2], 351[3] and 3[5] of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. 3. The learned Counsel for the applicant submits that the dispute had arose on the ground of keeping of firewood infront of the house of the applicant, due to which he had given a blow on the hand of the informant. Rgd. 2026:BHC-NAG:10336 Order 110826aba634.26 2 There are no criminal antecedents against the applicant, and the incident had occurred due to above reason, further there was no intention on the part of the applicant. This Court has already granted interim anticipatory bail to the applicant vide order dated 20.07.2026, and the applicant has not misused the said bail. Therefore, prayer is made that the interim anticipatory bail be confirmed. 4. On the other hand the learned A.P.P. vehemently opposes the application by submitting that due to blow on the hand of the informant, he has sustained fracture. He further submits that since the blow was forceful, the informant has suffered fracture to his hand, and in such circumstances, he submits that custodial interrogation of applicant would be necessary. 5. It appears from the record that this Court has granted interim anticipatory bail in favour of the applicant vide order dated 20.07.2026, and pursuant to which the applicant had appeared before the police station officer and handed over the wooden stick. Though it appears that the allegations are serious in nature, however, since the applicant had attended the police station, no custodial Rgd. Order 110826aba634.26 3 interrogation is required. It is also to be noted that considering that due to petty issue the incident had occurred and this has been considered by this Court while granting interim bail. Hence, I am of the considered opinion that this is a fit case for confirmation of interim anticipatory bail. 6. In the result, the interim anticipatory bail granted to the applicant vide order dated 20.07.2026 stands confirmed on the same terms and conditions as are incorporated in the said order. 7. Criminal Application is accordingly disposed of. JUDGE Rgd.
