After registering a non-cognisable case against Asif Khan Pathan of Carambolim, the police registered FIR against him for the offences punishable under Sections 323, 506 (II), 354, 509 and 427 of IPC. The trouble started when the respondent and other flat owners started quarrelling with the petitioner with regard to the parking space. The differences between the flat owners started frequently due to some garbage and illegal construction in the said apartments. Thus, it shows that the Police recorded the information correctly as disclosed by the informant on March 19 as non-cognisable case.
