4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case. No such occurrence has taken place. Accepting the allegations in the FIR no person has been injured in the entire occurrence. The cause of false implication of the petitioner is political rivalry between the parties as the wife of the petitioner had contested the elections. Coaccused has been enlarged on regular bail.
