the petitioner besides being not named in the FIR has been implicated only on the basis of confessional statement of named accused Sonu alias Md. Zafar due to personal grudge. Learned counsel submitted that no recovery has been made from the petitioner and though he has been identified in Test Identification Parade (TIP), the same has been done more than three months after his arrest and, that too, after he was produced in the Court on, at least, five occasions, thus, rendering the TIP meaningless. Learned counsel submitted that though there are three other cases against the petitioner, but all are arising out of family dispute. It was further submitted that the petitioner is in custody since 06.03.2020.

Learned APP submitted that named accused Sonu alias Md. Zafar and another accused, Prem Kumar, have taken the name of the petitioner also as their accomplice.
