perception of the police party that the vehicle was being occupied by veteran criminals. It so happened that while chasing, the vehicle of the police dashed with the vehicle in which the petitioner and four others were travelling. This led to the injuries on the person of the two of the members of the police party. On interception and search of the vehicle, fifty litres of liquor was found. The petitioner and another were arrested, who disclosed the names of the other accused persons.

¶21

Mr. Singh, the learned counsel for the petitioner, has submitted that the accusation is absolutely false. The petitioner is a person of clean antecedent. There is no recovery of either fire-arms from him or from any one of the inmates of the vehicle. It has further been submitted that so far as the recovery of liquor is concerned, the responsibility cannot exclusively be saddled upon him as he was only a copassenger.

¶22

The learned counsel for the petitioner has further submitted that the accusation has been leveled only for the purposes of justifying the act of arrest.
