ORDER
Order No.
01. 17.07.2026
(Through hybrid Mode)
1. None appeared for the Petitioner in the first hour when the matter is called, for which the matter was passed over.
2. When the matter is called again, none appears on behalf of the Petitioner.
3. This CRLMP has been filed for a direction to the Opp. Parties to conduct free and fair investigation by adding offence under Sections 109 and 74 of the BNS.
4. It has been averred in the CRLMP that the accused persons had entered her house (all women) and abused her in obscene language, assaulted her by means of fist and kicks and dragged her hair. When her mother protested, one Kasinath
Naik assaulted her mother by means of fist blows and kicks and when she protested all of them threatened to kill them. Although offence under Sections 74 and 109 of the BNS was made out but the offences were deliberately left out, while registering the FIR.
5. Perusal of Annexure-1 reveals that Badamba PS Case No. 238 of 2026 has been registered on 23.06.2026 under Sections 296, 115(2), 351(3) and Section 3(5) of the BNS against Mamata Naik, Padmini Naik, Jayanti Naik and Kasinath Naik.
6. Not even one month has elapsed since date of registration of the case. Hence investigation in the case must be in progress.
7. It is the duty of the IO to investigate the case according to law and to submit final form on the basis of the statements of witnesses and other materials collected during investigation.
8. It is therefore directed that if investigation reveals that the offences under Sections 109 and 74 of the BNS along with any other offences are made out, the Opp. Party No.3 shall ensure that final form is submitted basing on these materials.
9. This CRLMP is disposed of with the aforesaid directions.
10. Copy of this order be communicated to the Opp. Party No.3-IIC, Badamba Police Station by the Registry forthwith.
