                   127(2), 109, 61(2) of BNS and Section 27 of the Arms Act.

                               3. As per prosecution case the brief fact is like that,

                   the above said FİR was registered on the Fardbeyan of

                      4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

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

          further submitted that it appears from the FIR that informant is

          not an eye-witness to the alleged occurrence although the

          petitioner is named in the FIR but from perusal of the FIR it

          appears that there is no specific allegation of assault or overt act

          or firing is attributed against the petitioner rather the allegations

          are general and omnibus in nature. Learned counsel for the

          petitioner next submits that police after investigation has

          submitted charge-sheet and petitioner is in custody since

          13.11.2025.

          has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner and

          submits that petitioner has antecedent of eight cases other than

          the present case but out of eight cases petitioner is on bail in

          five cases.

                       6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances,

          let the petitioner, above named, be released on bail on furnishing

          bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of
