¶16

Chikku Singh fired from his pistol which touched the informant’s neck and he got injured.

¶17

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in the present case. The allegation as alleged in the FIR is false and fabricated and the petitioner has not committed any offence as alleged in the FIR.

¶18

Learned counsel for the informant and learned APP for the State, on the other hand, have vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner and submits that from a bare perusal of the FIR it appears that there is direct and specific allegation against the petitioner that he alongwith other co-accused persons fired upon the victim and the informant, who is victim of the case, has categorically stated that the petitioner has fired upon him and apart from that, the petitioner carries seven more cases other than the present one but fairly submits that the petitioner is on bail in all the cases, as mentioned in para-3 of the bail petition.
