Mrs. S.S. Jadhav, advocate for the applicant. Mr. D.V. Tele, A.P.P. for respondent nos.1 and 2. Mr. A.K. Tiwari, Advocate for the respondent no.3. ........ (CORAM : V.R.KINGAONKAR,J.) DATE : 7 th December, 2010. PER COURT : 1. The application is for anticipatory bail and quashing of F.I.R. 2. It is stated by the learned A.P.P. and learned Advocate for the applicant that the charge sheet has been filed. It further appears that the applicant has been granted bail by the Trial Court. 3. So far as the request for quashing of the F.I.R. is concerned, the avernments in the F.I.R., prima facie, show that the complainant who was insulted by the applicant on the ground of his being a member of scheduled tribe. The applicant alleges that the 2 cri1711.10 F.I.R. is lodged on account of rivalry and at the instance of Vishram Patil, who is political opponent of the applicant. These are not the sufficient grounds for quashing of the F.I.R. The defence of the applicant can not be considered at this juncture as a reasonable ground to infer that the F.I.R. is outcome of malice. That is the matter which can be proved before the Trial Court. In this view of the fact situation, the application is dismissed. (V.R.KINGAONKAR) JUDGE gas/cri1711.10
