3. As per the prosecution case, an accidental firing took place by the illegal weapon of the petitioner Navnit Kamti, in which the informant received a gun shot wound. The other petitioners were also present at the spot.

4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submit that petitioners are innocent and have been falsely implicated in this case. From perusal of the FIR, it is clear that there was no intention to cause death of any person. The petitioners themselves took the informant to the hospital. No recovery of any illegal fire arm has been made. The whole occurrence appears to be a case of accidental firing as it has come in the FIR itself that the informants and others were snatching the pistol from the Manmohan Chaudhary to have a look at it and in this process a shot got fired which hit the informant. The petitioners are having clean antecedent except Manmohan Chaudhary who is having criminal antecedent of one case. The petitioners are in custody since 30.06.2025. The charge-sheet has been submitted.

5. Learned A.P.P. appearing for the State opposes the submission made on behalf of the petitioner.
