Bombay HC orders community service for accused in assault case

[related-post]

The station master of Mira Road station and the principal of the school in Thane will monitor and supervise them and inform the police.

The youth had gone to a resort in Gorai in April last year separately where they got into a fight and assaulted each other. Both groups filed First Information Reports and counter FIRs with the Gorai police station at the time. All the accused, who are in early twenties, approached the HC seeking to quash the case stating that they have settled the dispute amongst themselves.

This is the second instance where the same bench of the high court has imposed the condition of community service for quashing an FIR.

In January, the bench had directed four men, accused of outraging the modesty of a woman, to sweep some streets and public spots in the Thane on every Sunday for six months.
