¶9

Learned counsel for accused-applicant, while pressing the bail application, submits that, the accused-applicant has been falsely implicated in the instant case and has not committed any offence, as alleged by the prosecution. It is further submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that, applicant was not named in the first information report of this case and his name surfaced during the course of investigation in the statement of co-accused Vishnu Garg, against whom, the main role of firing has been assigned. Learned counsel for the applicant further submits that, alleged incident has occurred on 19.12.2025, whereas first information report of this case has been lodged on 7.1.2026 and there is no explanation of delay of 19 days in lodging the first information report. Learned counsel for the applicant further submits that, the accused-applicant is not the prime accused of the alleged incident and is languishing in jail in this matter, since 1.2.2026 , without having any criminal antecedents and there is no likelihood that, the accused-applicant, after release on bail, may flee from the process of law or will misuse the liberty of bail.
