In course of the firing made by the petitioner, the informant got injury on her leg and Adhik Yadav fired causing injury on the right leg of Savitri Devi, the sister-inlaw of the informant.

Learned counsel submits that so far as the present petitioner is concerned, allegation against him is that he had assaulted the informant with fire arm on her leg. The informant was examined by the doctor and the nature of injury was opined as simple in nature. He further submits that petitioner had no intention to kill the informant and as such the allegation against him is not sustainable. Petitioner is in custody since 23.05.2020.
