4. Brief facts of WPCR No. 394 of 2024 are that the petitioner is a partner in the cable network business originally operating under the name “M/s Vande Mataram Cable Network,” which was later allegedly rebranded as “Vande Mataram CCN Shark Network.” Over the years, multiple partnership deeds were executed documenting the admission, retirement, and shareholding of various partners, including the petitioner. Disputes arose between the partners regarding control and management of the firm. On 02.09.2024, the petitioner visited the office of the partnership firm to address customer complaints regarding non-transmission of channels and to resolve ongoing disputes between the partners. The FIR in question (FIR No. 0527/2024) alleges that the petitioner, along with others, forcibly entered the office, physically assaulted Respondent No. 2, and looted several items. The petitioner denies these allegations, asserting that on the date of the incident, he was himself assaulted by respondent No. 2
