At that time, one person was sitting in the Indica Car and one person was standing near Indica Car. Vilagers came there. From the villagers, he came to know identity of the person. The present applicant was one of them The affidavit filed by Police Inspector Chandrasen J.Deshmukh of Mohol Police Station, Solapur Rural, within whose jurisdiction the offence was committed, shows that though during the course of investigation it was transpired that the present applicant was on duty at Pangari village, number of people from Korivali have identified the present applicant as one of the persons who had robbed the said truck driver.

In view of the above circumstances, the application is rejected.
