4. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that there is allegation of firing shots in air against the accused- petitioner; accused-petitioner is behind the bars since 11.02.2021; charge-sheet has been filed; and trial will take time; therefore, it is prayed that the petitioner may be enlarged on bail.

5. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor opposed the bail application of the accused-petitioner and stated that earlier six other cases are registered against the accused-petitioner.
