4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in the present case with false and frivolous allegations. The petitioner has not committed any offence as alleged in the F.I.R. He further submits that there is delay of about 40 days in instituting the F.I.R. that too without there being any plausible explanation for such delay. In the alleged occurrence, no one sustained any injury. During investigation, the I.O. has not found any sign of firing at the place of occurrence, which falsifies the prosecution case. The petitioner has three criminal antecedents and is languishing in judicial custody since 22.03.2024 without any rhymes or reason. Charge-sheet has been submitted in this case.
5. On the other hand, learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner, stating that the offence alleged against the petitioner is serious in nature. The I.O. after completion of investigation has submitted charge-sheet under Sections 447, 341, 323, 307, 504, 506/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The petitioner is named in the F.I.R. and, hence, he does not deserve bail.
6. Having heard rival contention of both the parties and considering the entire facts and circumstances of the case as
