It is further submitted that the accused/applicant also lodged a complaint against the present complainant party, but no action has been taken by the IO. Further, it is submitted that since both injured persons were discharged from hospital on the same day, no purpose would be served by keeping the present accused/applicant in jail. It is also contended that the knife allegedly used by the accused/applicant has not been seized by the IO.
4. On the other hand, on instructions of IO/SI Mohd. Naseem Khan, learned APP submits that the knife could not be recovered, despite taking police custody of the accused/applicant because he had thrown away the same somewhere.
