I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record of the case. 9. However, applicant is named in the FIR but it reflects, on the basis of information furnished by co-accused Muiz, who was arrested at spot, applicant has been made accused in the present matter. 10. Further, there is no allegation that applicant also indulged in manufacturing of illegal weapon and however it reflects, as per prosecution after manufacturing the illegal weapon co-accused Muiz provided the same to the applicant but it reflects, except the statement of co-accused Muiz there is no cogent evidence in this regard on record. 11. Further, however, as per prosecution, when applicant was arrested then from his possession one country made pistol and Rs. 35,000/- were recovered but applicant claimed the alleged recovered Rs. 35,000/- by stating that this recovered money belongs to him. 12.
