He further submitted that statement of the injured is not recorded by the prosecution. Lastly, it is submitted that the applicant is apprehensive of imminent arrest. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he would not misuse the liberty of bail and would cooperate with the investigation. 4.

He further submitted that co-accused, Shashi Prakash Singh @ Raju, in his statement has stated that applicant had opened fire upon the injured, as such, injured received injury. Prima facie, offence is made out against the applicant and investigation is still going on. Hence, applicant should not be released on anticipatory bail. 5.

From perusal of record, it is apparent that investigation is going on and Investigating Officer has collected evidence in regard to involvement of the applicant in the present case and as per the statement of co-accused, Shashi Prakash Singh @ Raju and Ratan Gupta, applicant's name surfaced in the present case. Further, injury report of the injured is also supporting the prosecution case. No case for interference by this Court is made out. 6.
