¶6

Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A for the State and perused the record.

¶7

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is not named in the F.I.R. and his name surfaced in the statement of the injured. He further submits that perusal of the statement of the injured shows that the main role of assault has been assigned to the co-accused Shiraz. He further submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated due to ulterior motive. Learned counsel next argued that the applicant has no criminal history. Several other submissions in order to demonstrate the falsity of the allegations made against the applicant have also been placed before the Court. The circumstances which, according to the counsel, led to the false implication of the accused have also been mentioned. It has also been assured on behalf of the applicant that he is ready to cooperate with the process of law and shall faithfully make himself available before the court whenever required and is also ready to accept all the conditions which the Court may deem fit to impose upon him. He next submits that applicant is languishing in jail since 02.01.2025.

¶8

Per contra, learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant by contending that the innocence of the applicant cannot be adjudged at pre trial stage, therefore, he does not deserve any indulgence.

¶9

After perusing the record in the light of the submissions made at the bar and after taking an overall view of all the facts and
