filed by the IO and certain objections are raised in respect of
recovery of mobile and SIM card etc. but it is to be taken into
consideration that previously, same report was lodged by the

In respect of the offence of outraging modesty law is
settled as follows “In regard to the allegations of assault or criminal
force with intent to outrage her modesty and intimidation as envisaged
under Secs. 354­A, 504 and 506 read with Sec. 34 of IPC, custodial
interrogation of the applicant is not necessary for the sake of
investigation.”

mentioned report lodged by the same informant. He is a local
resident and ready to abide any conditions on grant of interim
relief. Therefore, considering all these aspects, this Court is of
the view that interim relief was granted to applicant.
