Admittedly the Applicant was not present at the place of incident. The prosecution has already filed chargesheet against the other coaccused. The gun is already recovered. There are no criminal antecedents against the Applicant. In that view of the matter, I am inclined to release the Applicant on anticipatory bail. Hence, the following order:-
