Flat grabbing case: Bombay HC raps Pune police over NC report filing

Coming down heavily on an investigation officer of the Bund Garden police station in Pune, the Bombay High Court has asked the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) concerned to explain under which law is an “NC Summary” filed before a local magistrate in the first information report (FIR) of a flat grabbing case.
An NC report is usually filed by the police when the alleged offence is non-cognisable and hence there is no need to register an FIR.
The HC has kept the petition for hearing on March 17.
HC asks Bund Garden DCP for answers
A division bench of Justices Ajey Gadkari and Prakash Naik observed, “We direct the DCP having jurisdiction over the Bund Garden Police Station, Pune, to explain under which provision of law ‘NC Summary’ report is filed after registration of crime before the learned magistrate.” The court passed the order while hearing a petition filed by businessmen, Ravi Thadaney, 56 and Raju Thadaney, 59. Their Advocates Aashutosh Srivastava and Sahil Rathod argued that one Abdul Hamid Jafri sold their flat in Modi Khana area by forging documents.
What is the flat grabbing case all about?
Thadaneys had shifted from the flat at Modi Khana to separate houses in Pune before Covid struck. They left the flat intact with furniture with the intention of visiting it occasionally. When there was relaxation of movement, Raju Thadaney went to check on the flat and found that their flat was occupied by some strangers, said Srivastava.
On inquiry, Thadaneys learnt that Jafri claimed to own the place and sold the flat by allegedly forging documents. The records showed that the sale deed allegedly registered between Jafri and the “buyers” was already registered under some different names and for a different property, added Srivastava.
No FIR despite complaints
Despite complaints, the Bund Garden police did not register an FIR for over a month. Only after a written complaint was sent to the Commissioner of Police, Pune, the FIR was lodged. However, no further action was taken and hence the petition was filed in the HC.
The HC had earlier issued a notice and asked for probe status. During the hearing on March 3, Additional Public Prosecutor SS Hulke informed the HC that “NC Summary” was filed in the case.
The judges questioned under which provision of law such a summary was filed and asked the DCP to “personally look into” the matter.

Mumbai Waqf Act protest proved costly, notice to Asif Shaikh, police accused of harassment and nuisance, demand for action from Police Commissioner

Mumbai: Seeking permission for a protest against the Waqf Act in Mumbai on April 18 proved costly for Asif Shaikh and his family and the police have now started harassing Asif Shaikh and his wife, against which Asif Shaikh has now lodged a complaint with the Police Commissioner and requested to take action against the policemen who entered their house without permission.
Against the harassment and hooliganism of Tilak Nagar Police Station, Asif Shaikh and his wife Jasmine Shaikh have requested the Mumbai Police Commissioner to take strict action against the policemen who have harassed them by pasting a notice not to protest under the Waqf Act at their house in the absence of her husband. Jasmine Shaikh has said that my husband was not at home and in his absence the police not only harassed us at our house, but now the police is also harassing and troubling the people of our neighborhood so that they do not support us.
Asif Sheikh has requested the Mumbai Police Commissioner to take action in this regard, otherwise he will be forced to commit suicide and will commit self-immolation at the Mumbai Police Commissioner Headquarters. Asif Sheikh said in his video message that the local police station has made it clear that they are misbehaving with him on the orders of the Commissioner. He said that apart from harassing my wife, the police officers have also made a video of the women of our house in a nude state, which is illegal, but the police officers are stubborn and say that they have permission to make the video. When DCP Nunath Dhola was talked to in this regard, he said that permission was not given to protest against the Waqf Act and Asif Sheikh and others have been given notice, but the DCP has denied the allegation of harassing other people of the area.

Wankhede withdraws defamation case against Kashif Khan and Rakhi Sawant

Mumbai: Former NCB Zonal Director Additional Commissioner IRS has withdrawn the defamation case filed against film actress Rakhi Sawant and her lawyer Kashif Ali Khan. Sameer Wankhede had filed a defamation case against Rakhi Sawant and her lawyer Kashif Ali Khan Deshmukh seeking compensation of Rs 11.55 lakh. Wankhede withdrew the case on personal grounds. On withdrawing the complaint, Kashif Ali Khan said that our mediation is complete. Instead of mutual differences, we fought against our hidden enemies. An example of this is that I have pleaded the case of Sameer Wankhede’s sister Yasmin Wankhede and also filed a defamation case against former minister Nawab Malik.
Sameer Wankhede had arrested Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan in the Cordelia cruise case and Kashif Ali Khan, the lawyer of Manmohan Dhamicha who was arrested in this case, made objectionable and indecent comments against Sameer Wankhede on his Instagram and social media channels, after which Wankhede filed a defamation case against him and Rakhi Sawant also shared the same post on her Instagram. Since Kashif Ali Khan is the one who is advocating many cases of Rakhi Sawant, Wankhede had filed a case against both of them, but now Wankhede has withdrawn the case on the basis of personal reasons. The court had ordered the parties to remain present for the withdrawal of the case, while Wankhede said that he has reached a settlement with Kashif Ali and after this understanding, Wankhede has withdrawn the case.
