¶19

petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. There is general and omnibus allegation against the petitioner and other co-accused persons though the informant claims himself to be an eye-witness. There is delay of about 10 hours in lodging the FIR and it shows afterthought and deliberation. Learned counsel further submits that after submission of charge-sheet, police obtained an injury report of the mother of the informant from Sadar Hospital where she was initially treated and this report shows simple injury caused by hard and blunt substance. However, prior to submission of charge-sheet, report of a private nursing home has been annexed showing grievous injury and the said report is dated 28.02.2025 but it does not mention when the patient was treated. Learned counsel further submits that taking all these facts together, the allegation against the petitioner appears to be doubtful. Petitioner is in custody since 01.01.2025 and chargesheet has been submitted. Petitioner is having antecedent of two cases and he is on bail in both the cases.
