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.

Special NIA Court Allows Activist Gautam Navlakha To Visit Ailing Sister
The special NIA court on Thursday permitted activist Gautam Navlakha, an accused in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case, to travel to Delhi for two months to be with his ailing elder sister.
Navlakha had approached the court for modification of the bail order granted last year, which restricted his movement to city limits.
The prosecution opposed the plea, apprehending that he may influence witnesses or skip the trial.
The court ruled out these possibilities and allowed the plea but with several conditions. Navlakha has been asked to furnish details of his mobile phone number on which video call facility is available, furnish his travel details, and deposit his passport in the court before leaving the city.

Maharashtra Elections 2024: Devendra Fadnavis Refers To Sharad Pawar As ‘Owner Of Fake Narrative Factory’; Slams Opposition Over Claims About Industries Leaving State
Mumbai: In a scathing attack on Sharad Pawar, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis referred to the NCP leader as the “owner of a fake narrative factory” during an election rally in Pimpri-Chinchwad. Fadnavis accused Pawar and opposition leaders of spreading false information about industries leaving Maharashtra for Gujarat, attempting to tarnish the state’s image. He made it clear that Maharashtra remains the top choice for investment, with 52% of the country’s foreign investment flowing into the state.
Addressing a rally in support of Mahayuti candidate Shankar Jagtap, Fadnavis emphasized that Maharashtra is strong industrially and that the information being spread by the opposition is misleading. He stated, “Our government has made Maharashtra an ideal destination for investment.” According to Fadnavis, reports suggesting a shift in the state’s industrial landscape were false and intended solely to mislead the public.
Fadnavis Targets Supriya Sule
Fadnavis also targeted NCP MP Supriya Sule, calling her the “manager of the fake narrative factory.” He accused Sule of spreading incorrect information about IT companies leaving Hinjewadi, a major IT hub in Pune. Fadnavis stressed that both Maharashtra’s industrial and IT sectors are strong, and any challenges faced were the result of the difficulties encountered during the tenure of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government. He labeled Sule’s statements as incorrect and harmful to the state’s progress.
Fadnavis also responded to criticism of Uddhav Thackeray’s “Ladki Behin Yojana” . He said that Thackeray’s approach, focused on opposition for the sake of it, was disconnected from the needs of ordinary people. Fadnavis clarified that the scheme would provide financial aid and educational opportunities to thousands of girls across Maharashtra.
Concluding his speech, Fadnavis reassured the audience about job creation under the BJP government. He announced an ambitious goal of generating employment opportunities for 10 lakh youths and promised to rejuvenate Maharashtra’s economic stability. He urged voters to be cautious of the “fake narratives” being spread by the opposition and to trust in the state’s economic progress.
Throughout the rally, Fadnavis highlighted BJP’s transparency and development-oriented policies, portraying the opposition’s tactics as a strategy to promote “fake narratives” and undermine the state’s growth.
