In the meanwhile, Sunil Taxak fired a shot with his pistol which hit a passerby in his chest. Sunil Taxak fired one more shot on the same passerby. This is the complaint in the FIR.

(3.) THE learned Advocate for the petitioner has vehemently argued that the statements of Ram Lal and Karan Singh subsequently involved the petitioner in causing the injury to Dr. Ram Lal and that the petitioner having injured Ram Lal is not mentioned in the FIR. The learned Advocate for State of Haryana has produced photocopies which are in four papers and they are regarding the injuries caused to Ram Lal and states that Ram Lal was having fire arm injury. At the time of granting bail the Court is to see whether there is prima facie evidence for granting bail. In this case, it is evident from the FIR itself that the petitioner had fired shots from his pistol. Subsequently, injury given to Dr. Ram Lal by the petitioner at present cannot be said to be a got up one because of the medical evidence which is produced by the prosecution.
