Thus, the Court quashed the FIR as there was no disturbance to public peace.<\/p>\n<h3>Background<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">In the present case, two of the present accused persons approached the Police Station for lodging the complaints against each other with respect to abuse and assault at Durga Chowk, Gondia Police Station. As both the parties were having minor injuries, the informant along with other police staff took both the parties to the hospital for the purpose of medical examination. While the medical examination was going on, the accused persons allegedly started fighting in the hospital premises. The informant stated he came out and saw that the accused persons were fighting with each other, therefore, he along with other staff stopped the accused persons from fighting with each other and thus, the FIR under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561425\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">160<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IPC<\/a> was registered.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The accused persons have therefore approached the Court under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001804270\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">528<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001804327\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023<\/a> for quashing of the charge-sheet emerging out of the said FIR.<\/p>\n<h3>Analysis, Law, and Decision<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court opined that to constitute an offence under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561423\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">159<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IPC<\/a>, its three essential ingredients must be met. There must be two or more person, there should be fighting between them in public place and the result of such fighting should be in disturbance to the public peace. If these three ingredients are satisfied, then and then only it can be said that the accused has committed an offence of affray.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">In the instant case, two ingredients to constitute affray, were being fulfilled, that there were two or more persons who were fighting at a public place, however, the third limb of Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561423\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">159<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IPC<\/a>. was absent, based on the material on record.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court stated that the entire record did not show that there was disturbance to the public peace.
