On the other hand, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor has not disputed the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner. As seen from the order dated 27.03.2025 in Crl.P.No.2393 7. of 2025, this Court observed that, “it is specifically alleged that A1 beat the defacto complainant with a stick on his head resulting in grievous injury to him. However, with respect to the other accused. only omnibus allegations are made.” In the said facts of the case there are no specific accusations have been made against the petitioner herein.
