AKSHAY S, ADVOCATE FOR R2) THIS CRL.P ISFILED U/S 482 OF CR.PC (FILED U/S 528 BNNS) PRAYING TO QUASH THE FIR (CR.NO.) 380/2026 FOR THE P/U/S 318(4), 319(2), 329(3), 336(3), 336(2), 340(2), 351(3) R/W 3(5) OF BNS PENDING ON THE FILE OF THE XXIX A.C.J.M BENGALURU CITY REGISTERED BY RESPONDENT NO.1/ K.R.PURAM P.S BENGALURU. THESE PETITIONS, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.NAGAPRASANNA ORAL ORDER The petitioners in the cases at hand are common. The complainant is different; one the Sub-Registrar of the jurisdiction and the other person said to be the victim. - 5 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010459842026 NC: 2026:KHC:42720 CRL.P No. 9884 of 2026 C/W CRL.P No. 7641 of 2026 2. The allegations in the considered view of the Court on its peripheral view would indicate that an investigation in the least is imperative. Therefore, the petitioners are at liberty to re-approach this Court in the event, a final report is filed and the final report would go against them. 3. In the light of the interim order of not to take any coercive steps subsisting in the cases at hand, I deem it appropriate to extend the same for a period of two weeks from today for the petitioners to secure appropriate orders by filing appropriate applications with regard to grant of bail. 4. In the event, the petitioner would not avail the remedy of filing an application seeking bail, within the next two weeks, the interim order would stand automatically dissolved. 5. Merely because the interim order is extended for a period of two weeks, it does not bind the concerned Court to grant the bail, it shall be considered in accordance with law. 6. All contentions that are urged now shall remain open to be urged, inter alia, at a later point in time. - 6 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010459842026 NC: 2026:KHC:42720 CRL.P No. 9884 of 2026 C/W CRL.P No. 7641 of 2026 7. With the aforesaid observation, the petitions stand disposed. Ordered accordingly. Sd/- (M.NAGAPRASANNA) JUDGE JY List No.: 2 Sl No.: 18
