Chargesheet has already been submitted in the case and there is no likelihood of tampering the prosecution evidence. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that the petitioner is quite innocent and has committed no offence at all. The name of petitioner has been dragged in the case only for the reason that he happens to be family member of co-accused persons and the entire family members have been dragged in the case merely on suspicion on the basis of fabricated story of threatening on account of land dispute. He further submits that nothing specific has been alleged against the petitioner and there is specific
3/4 allegation of firing against co-accused Bipin Yadav and Ram Niwas Yadav. As per F.I.R., the petitioner is alleged to be an order giver and nothing else.
