APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VIKASH JAIN ORAL ORDER 28-06-2019 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest for the offences alleged under Sections 302 and 120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act registered in connection with Runisaidpur P.S. Case No. 110 of 2019.

3. It is submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated and in any event, the accusation that he along with coaccused Guddu Singh gave order to kill the son of the informant is general and omnibus in nature. In the past, the petitioner had opposed the deceased during anti-reservation rally and due to blockage of road created by deceased and his men, one pregnant woman was struck on the road and while returning the deceased, said to be a veteran criminal had attacked the petitioner's house for which an FIR in Runnisaidpur P.S Case No. 186 of 2018 had been lodged by the petitioner leading to arrest of the informant and his brother while the deceased was absconding. It is therefore submitted that false implication of the petitioner is writ large on the face of it. The petitioner is admittedly not the main assailant, rather he, a senior citizen and ex-serviceman with gallantry award during Kargil war, claims clean antecedents.
