    The Bombay High Court (Kolhapur Circuit) quashed FIR No. 214 of 2026 against advocate Kajal Shelke and others following an incident at a divorce hearing on March 7, 2026, where the complainant alleged caste-based abuse and assault. The court accepted the parties' voluntary settlement and found no deliberate intention to humiliate based on caste, noting that witness statements did not corroborate caste-based abuse allegations and the dispute originated from matrimonial discord rather than societal wrongs. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
