It is further submitted that the accused/applicant also lodged a complaint against the present complainant party, but no action has been taken by the IO. Further, it is submitted that since both injured persons were discharged from hospital on the same day, no purpose would be served by keeping the present accused/applicant in jail. It is also contended that the knife allegedly used by the accused/applicant has not been seized by the IO. 4. On the other hand, on instructions of IO/SI Mohd. Naseem Khan, learned APP submits that the knife could not be recovered, despite taking police custody of the accused/applicant because he had thrown away the same somewhere. 5. In response to a specific query, the IO admits that the present accused/applicant also suffered injuries and even MLC was prepared. On being called upon to show the MLC of the accused/applicant, the IO submits that the same was sent to the hospital for opinion but he did not retain a copy of the said MLC. But on being called upon to show the case diary reflecting that the MLC was sent by him for opinion, the IO submits that he has not brought the same. 6. From the above circumstances, it appears that genesis of the occurrence is being concealed by the investigating agency.
