The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been falsely implicated in the instant case by the informant. It is next submitted that from perusal of the allegations as alleged in the FIR, it would manifest that the informant specifically alleges that two unknown accused in the age of 18-25 years fired at him causing injury, but then, based on suspicion alleges that the occurrence was committed at the behest of petitioner and other named accused persons as recorded herein above.

The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant at this stage submits that if privilege of anticipatory bail is granted, the petitioner may abscond or try to tamper with evidence, since he has criminal antecedents, on which the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that petitioner will not abscond rather will cooperate in the investigation to prove his innocence. 6.
