4. Learned counsel for the applicant has argued that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. He has nothing to do with the said offence as alleged in the FIR. The FIR is delayed by about one day and there is no explanation of the said delay caused. The FIR has been lodged as an afterthought and after legal consultations.
5. Learned counsel has also stated that there are general and omnibus allegations against all the accused persons. No particular role has been assigned to any accused person whatsoever. It is true that the injured person has sustained lacerated wound on his left arm but the said organ is not a vital organ.

cooperate with trial.

submissions raised by the learned counsel for the applicant and also the fact that the applicant has no criminal history.
8. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, submissions made by
learned counsel for the parties, nature of offence, severity of punishment and also considering the delay in lodging the FIR and there being general and omnibus allegations against all the accused persons, prima facie I find it a fit case to release the applicant on bail. The bail application is allowed.
