Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case. He is neither named in the FIR nor any injury has been attributed to him. According to the counsel, the petitioner, thus, deserves the concession of pre-arrest bail. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and given careful thought to the facts of the case. The allegation in the FIR is that petitioner alongwith was armed with Chhura. He attacked the complainant Bahadur Ram with the same.
