Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case and was arrested on 24.05.2025. He next contends that it has been alleged that the petitioner was driving a motorcycle, whereas Hardeep Singh @ Gora had snatched the chain from the victim. However, Hardeep Singh @ Gora has been admitted to bail by the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Barnala, vide order dated 16.07.2025 (Annexure P-4). Even challan has been presented against the petitioner and his further custody will not serve any meaningful purpose.
