Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the accused- applicant is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in this case crime number. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the allegation against the applicant is that while the Police Party was on routine checking of vehicles, the accused applicant along with other accused persons directed to stop but they did not stop rather they opened fire on the Police Team.

During the investigation, 4 Pistols 315 Bore and a number of live bullets were recovered from the possession of the accused applicant. He submits that there is no independent witness of the alleged incident. Learned counsel submits that it is a no injury case and false recovery memo has been prepared by Police against the applicant.
