The petitioner has been in custody since 06.11.2017 in connection with Ismailpur P.S. Case No. 58/2017 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case.
