Order on Exhibit

Case Summary: Sessions Case No. 53/2021 Outcome: Discharge application REJECTED Rajat Sitaram Gurnule sought discharge under Section 227 of the Criminal Procedure Code, arguing insufficient evidence against him for alleged offences under IPC Sections 143, 188, 290, 291, 341, 353 read with 149, and Mumbai Police Act Section 135. The court found strong prima facie evidence demonstrating Gurnule's active involvement in obstructing police during a Durga Immersion procession on 20.10.2018, including preventing DJ seizure and blocking police transport of seized materials worth Rs. 4,32,800. The court rejected his arguments that police lacked authority to seize the sound system and discharged its obligation under settled law by applying Section 149 IPC (common object liability). The emotional appeal regarding potential job loss was dismissed as irrelevant. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
