3. Allegedly, the petitioner along with other accused persons were involved in demanding extortion from the informant for the last six months.

4. Learned Advocate for the petitioner made various submissions, inter alia, that there was prior enmity between both the parties and the injury report does not corroborate the allegation, coupled with the fact that the petitioner is a student. However, these submissions do not persuade this Court to enlarge the petitioner on pre-arrest bail, taking note of the specific allegation of causing two bullets injury to the injured, brother of the informant, apart from the criminal antecedent as disclosed in para-3 of the bail application. Accordingly, his prayer is rejected.

5. Suffice it to observe that if the petitioner surrenders and seeks regular bail before the court below, the same shall be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced by the present order.
