                                 3. The prosecution case, in short, is that the petitioner

                   along with other co-accused persons resorted to indiscriminate

                   firing, misbehaved with the informant and his family members.

                   The informant somehow managed to escape but, his father was

                   illegally restrained. Thereafter, the whereabouts of his father is

                   not known.

                       4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

          petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the

          present case. Charge-sheet has been submitted in this case. No

          incriminating material has been recovered from the conscious

          possession of the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner

          also submitted that the petitioner was not present at the place of

          occurrence when father of the informant was abused and

          assaulted by other co-accused persons. It is next submitted that

          allegation levelled against the petitioner is of calling the

          miscreants which is general and omnibus in nature and specific

          allegation of firing is against other co-accused person. The

          criminal antecedent. Learned counsel for the petitioner further

          submits that other co-accused has been granted regular bail by

                       5. Learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed

          the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner.

                       6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances

          of the case and taking into account the period of custody

          undergone by the petitioner, this Court is inclined to grant bail

          to the petitioner.
