the person, who was driving the bike. At that time, the petitioner, Chano Yadav and another person fired through pistol but the same passed nearby the head of the informant. Thereafter, they again made firing, which hit at the waist of the informant.

¶14

Learned Senior counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that it would appear from the F.I.R. that the allegation has been made in the F.I.R. about making firing by three persons including the petitioner but only one firearm injury was found in the waist of the informant, which is said to be grievous in nature. In course of investigation, no witness has made specific allegation against the petitioner about causing firearm injury in the waist of the informant. The petitioner is in custody since 16.01.2020.

¶15

Having regard to the facts and the circumstances of the case and the nature of allegation against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail stands rejected. However, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after completion of one year in jail custody.
