The petitioner is sole named accused of the case which has been registered under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The informant was sleeping with her husband, in the night her husband was fired upon. The informant saw this petitioner escaping, leaving his pistol in the room. 2-3 days prior to the occurrence the petitioner had altercation with the son of the informant, she suspected that the aforesaid altercation might be the cause of the occurrence. Submission is that in course of investigation it has come that soon after the occurrence a number of witnesses have not disclosed the name of the petitioner.
