          his hand and the petitioner also fired from Gun and co-accused

          Sugriv Singh having with Garasa and Nitsh Singh having with

          Bhala. But they managed to hide after saving their lives

          somehow. On the basis of self-written application of the

          informant the F.I.R. bearing Kargahar P.S. case no.219 of 2025

          dated 15.7.2025 under sections 351(2), 109, 3(5) of B.N.S.,

          police.

          petitioner has falsely been implicated in the present case. It is

          further submitted that the allegation as alleged in the FIR is

          forged and fabricated and the petitioner has not committed any

          offence as alleged in the FIR. It is next submitted that although

          the petitioner is named in the FIR but there is no specific

          allegation of assault or overt act against the petitioner rather the

          allegation against the petitioner is that he has fired in the air but

          no one has received the injury. It is next submitted that even no

          injury report is available in the case diary which suggests that

          no one has received the injury in the present occurrence. It is

          next submitted that the police after investigation has submitted

          charge-sheet and petitioner is in custody since 02.08.2025.
