It is undisputed that at the time of commission of offence the applicant was minor, By an interim order passed on 10­8­2009 the applicant was directed to attend Khuruduwadi police station, Solapur daily between 5 to 7 p.m. for a period of one week. I am informed by the learned APP that as directed the applicant did attend the police station and has co­operated the police in investigation. The stick is also stated to have been recovered from the applicant. 2 As the custodial interrogation of the present applicant is not necessary, and having regard to the fact that he was minor when he allegedly committed the offence, I deem it appropriate to allow the application. In the result the application is allowed. The applicant, in the event of his arrest in C.R.
