Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.12796 of 2024(2) dt.08-04-2024 2/3 came to be implicated at the instance of Chowkidar with whom he is on an inimical term. It is also submitted that in majority of the cases, the police, in a mechanical manner, is implicating the accused persons either at the instance of Chowkidar or local person but then it absolutely does not stand to reason that if Chowkidar was aware of the involvement of the petitioner in the occurrence then why he/she did not inform the police prior to institution of the instant FIR which further casts aspersion on the case of the prosecution.
