No.38090 of 2021(3) dt.23-06-2022 2/3 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that from bare perusal of the allegation as alleged in the F.I.R. it would manifest that the allegation of firing is general and omnibus in nature as the informant in the F.I.R. has alleged that several persons, including the petitioner, were firing at the procession but not a single shot was received by any of the processionists, this amply demonstrates that only to give a serious colour to the case such allegation was made.

Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.
