It is argued by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated and he was simply standing over there at the time of incident and no specific role has been assigned to the petitioner. 6. On the other side, Mr. Shariq Khurshid submits that a specific role has been assigned to the petitioner who used the weapon while committing the crime and the injuries are grave in nature and danger to life. 7. Mr. Sain, learned A.G.A. on instructions submits that injuries are on the vital part of the body and the doctor’s statement was also recorded. He also stated that the injuries caused to the injured was danger to life. 8. It is argued by the learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner is ready to cooperate with the investigation, however, he may be granted interim protection. 9. On this, the State submits that the main role has been assigned to the petitioner, therefore, he does not deserve for interim protection. 10. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and after gone through with the FIR as well as injury report and the statement of the 2026:UHC:3821 doctor, this court is of the view that the petitioner could not make out a case for quashing of the FIR, accordingly, the same is dismissed being devoid of merit.
