3. The learned Senior counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case and as per the F.I.R., the allegation was against one Babu Mohli, but ultimately the petitioner has been made an accused in this case. He has submitted that as per the post mortem report, the cause of death is shown as lacerated wound near the neck region and apart from confessional statement, there is nothing against the petitioner.
4. The learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer and referred to paragraph 73 of the case diary that the body of the victim
