reached the said place of occurrence for the purpose of
apprehending the naxalites. It is further alleged that in the firing

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the
petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in
connection with the present case. It is further submitted that
from perusal of the FIR itself, it is clear that the allegations are
very grave but from perusal of the FIR, it is also clear that the
name of the accused persons has been disclosed by locals and in
the last portion of the FIR, it is also stated that the accused
persons were talking amongst them by their name. This seems
very absurd. It is further submitted that the nature of allegation
is general and omnibus. There is no specific allegation against
this petitioner. It is further submitted that similarly situated
accused persons have been granted bail by a co-ordinate Bench
of this Court vide order dated 21.08.2023 and 05.04.2023
