 4.2 Learned counsel for the petitioner - Gurmail Singh contends that in order to declare Baljinder Singh @ Nona as innocent, petitioner has been made a scapegoat by relying upon the statements of related witnesses of Baljinder Singh @ Nona and Jagjiwan Singh @ Jiwan; and that petitioner has already joined the investigation in compliance of the order dated 03.11.2023.

4.3 On behalf of petitioner - Amritpal Singh @ Amrit Singh, it is contended that he was neither named in the FIR nor any of the eye witnesses of the occurrence implicated him in the occurrence. Since beginning, it has been a consistent stand of the eye witness, namely Hardeep Singh @ Nodha that it is Harjit Singh Malli @ Kala, who alongwith Jagjiwan Singh @ Jiwan had alighted from the car and had assaulted the deceased. Learned counsel for the petitioner has raised a similar contention to the effect that in order to save Jagjiwan Singh @ Jiwan, petitioner has been made a scapegoat by the S.P. (Investigation) by relying upon the statements of witnesses, who were not present at the spot and rather, they were witnesses related to main accused Jagjiwan Singh @ Jiwan and Baljinder Singh @ Nona. Learned counsel prays for granting the benefit of anticipatory bail.
