had not seen firing at the deceased. It is further contended that the applicant
has been falsely implicated in this case and he has no criminal history. The
applicant is in jail since 12.2.2009.

Learned A.G.A. has contended that the postmortem report fully supports the
prosecution case and the incident has taken place during night hours and the
deceased was dragged by the accused persons and dead body was found in the
field of Bhaggoo Singh.

accused Shailendra Singh was exonerated. Most of the witnesses have not
