Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has antecedent of one case and has been implicated in the instant case based on confessional statement of Deepak Kumar Sahani in police custody, which does not have any evidentiary value. It is also submitted that the informant alleges that four accused persons came on two motorcycles and at the point of gun snatched his motorcycle and mobile phone. The learned counsel thus submits that since the petitioner has one antecedent, as such, he has been falsely implicated in the present case.
