As per prosecution case, allegation against the petitioner namely Ranvir Kumar is that he fired upon the informant which hit him on his left thigh and petitioner namely Sudhir Kumar also fired upon the informant which hit on his left arm.

¶21

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner namely Ranvir Kumar is in custody since 16.12.2021 and petitioner namely Sudhir Kumar is in custody since 21.01.2022. Both petitioners bear no criminal antecedent. Charge-sheet is already been submitted and there is no likelihood of tampering with the prosecution evidence. Learned counsel further submits that petitioner namely Ranvir Kumar fired upon the left thigh of the informant and petitioner namely Sudhir Kumar fired upon the left arm but injury report indicates only one injury which is on chest of the informant. As per F.I.R. co-accused Banti Yadav fired upon the informant which hit on his chest. The allegation against the petitioners is not supported and corroborated by the injury report as mentioned at Annexure2 of the bail application. The petitioners are innocent and have falsely been implicated in the present case.
