No.4919 of 2023(3) dt.20-06-2023 2/3 petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case, it is next submitted that from bare perusal of the allegation as alleged in the FIR it would manifest no doubt an occurrence did take place between students in which certain students were injured but then against this petitioner there is no specific allegation of assault rather it is alleged that he was leading one of the groups. Learned counsel further submits that petitioner is not a criminal, he is student and in the event, if he is sent to custody his entire career would be jeopardized and chances are bright that he may come in contact with hardened criminal.
