4. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case on account of local politics. Learned counsel for the petitioner has further submitted that there is no allegation of causing assault against the petitioner, the only accusation against the petitioner is that he along with co-accused Badal Kumar, took out the gold chain from the neck of the informant and also took out Rs.2,500.00 from the pocket of the informant, which, on the face of it, appears to be concocted one and has been levelled with a view to implicate this petitioner in the present case. It has lastly been submitted that though the petitioner is also accused in one another case, but he is on bail in that case.
