4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegations levelled in the FIR are totally false and the petitioner and others have been made accused in this case by the doctor and the hospital authorities in order to save their own skin as it was the doctor and the hospital authorities, who had committed wrong with the petitioner and others by not admitting Nazrana Khatoon in the hospital. It has further been submitted that a dispute arose between the informant and the accused persons, however, the FIR was not lodged with all promptness.

The learned APP for the State opposes the bail application by submitting that the petitioner is also accused in one other case in which learned counsel for the petitioner has responded by stating that in paragraph -3 of the supplementary affidavit, it has been stated that he has been granted bail in other case filed against him.
