Petitioner's counsel submits that since the petitioner bears criminal antecedents coupled with the fact that he is the resident of the same village, where the occurrence has taken place, he has been implicated in this case. No incriminating aricle has been recovered from his possession nor is there any basis to his implication in this case. It is further submitted that he is in custody since 17.10.2019.

The learned APP for the State has opposed the prayer for bail.
