Rane, who was arrested on Tuesday and later granted bail by the Mahad magistrate court, formally filed a petition on Wednesday morning before the high court seeking to quash the FIR. The plea stated that the Nashik Police Commissioner was working under pressure from the Shiv Sena, the ruling party in Maharashtra, and that multiple FIRs were lodged against him with the only intention to harass him by launching a false prosecution. On Tuesday, when Rane’s advocate Aniket Nikam mentioned the plea before the division bench of Justice S S Shinde and Justice N J Jamadar, the high court had refused an urgent hearing and told Nikam that the mere mention of Ranee’s plea before the court was not allowed and that he needed to follow proper procedures under the law to get the petition registered and file a precipice in the high court registry to get the matter listed for hearing. In the post-lunch session, senior advocate Amit Desai, representing the Maharashtra government, informed the court that he had received the copy of Rane’s petition and that he was ready to make a statement that no coercive action will be taken against the minister in the Nashik FIR, till further orders. He further said that as Rane’s plea did not mention the details of other FIR, he should amend the plea and seek time to take instructions on the same.
