It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he has falsely been implicated in this case and no specific allegation has been made and further the deceased is still traceless. It has also been submitted now the matter has been compromised between the parties as the informant has realized that he has filed the case due to mistake and has also filed a petition in the court below. Further petitioner has been in judicial custody since 15.03.2017 Learned counsel for the State opposed the prayer for bail.
