The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered under Sections 302, 120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act.

The prosecution case in brief is that while the deceased was going to his village, the accused persons surrounded him and fired upon him, as a result of which, the deceased succumbed to the fire-arms injury.

Charge sheet has already been submitted. The petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case. From perusal of

On behalf of the State, it is submitted that the petitioner is named in the Complaint Case/F.I.R.
