The earlier bail petition bearing No.CRM-M-47786-2021 was withdrawn on 05.04.2022. It was specifically noticed that out of total of 24 witnesses, 15 witnesses had already been examined till then. Learned State Counsel, however, contends that the attribution against the petitioner is that he had fired shots on deceased Devender @ Phula and that recovery of the weapon used in the commission of the offence was effected at the instance of the petitioner. Besides, as per the FSL report, the said weapon is stated to have been used in the commission of the offence as well.
