PER COURT :-

¶12

1] Heard learned counsel for the applicant and the learned APP for the respondent-State.

¶13

2] The applicant is apprehending arrest in connection with Crime No. 30/2024 dated 25.1.2024 registered with City Chowk Police Station, Aurangabad for the offences punishable under sections 307, 143, 504, 341, 506 of the I.P.C.

¶14

3] It is the case of the prosecution that on 24.01.2024 at 5.45 p.m., 3 persons namely Shaikh Yunus, Zuber Patel (applicant herein) and Shoheb came in front of the Inova car of the informant namely Mujahid Patel and had picked up stones from the street and assaulted the informant by means of stone. Other accused came there and said that he will not leave the informant alive and assaulted informant by means of knife on the head of informant - Mujahed Patel and thereafter all the accused ran away from the spot. Considering the allegations made in the complaint, primarily the offence punishable under Section 307/326 IPC would be attracted against the Shaikh Yunus who is behind bars. As far as the present applicant is concerned, the role of the applicant seems to be very limited. It appears that he had assaulted the informant by means of stones. However, there is no corresponding injury on the informant connecting the applicant with the
