He further submits that post presentation of the challan, prosecution evidence is yet to commence. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner has been in custody since 15.11.2021. Only the weapon along with 10 live cartridges was recovered from the petitioner. No injury has been attributed to the petitioner.
