¶18

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. The petitioner and the informant side are agnates and there is land dispute as it appears from the FIR. Learned counsel submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that of firing upon the informant and shot missing him but the said allegation is not believable as no empty cartridges were found from the spot. There is only one injury report on record and it is of the brother of the informant and there is no injury report of the informant or any other person. Moreover, the injury report of the brother of the informant shows only one injury on left parietal region S.C. deep laceration about 1 cm and as it is fracture, the nature of injury is stated to be grievous. Learned counsel further submits that the occurrence took place on 30.03.2024 but the FIR has been lodged on 01.04.2024 and there is no satisfactory explanation for the delay and from the facts of this case, it is also clear that no offence under Section 307 IPC is made out and other offences mentioned in the FIR, i.e., 379 and 386 IPC are ornamental in nature. The petitioner is having clean antecedent and they are in custody since 29.08.2024.
