He further submits that balwinder Singh has been examined twice. Firstly, before his arrest wherein he did not name the accused petitioner and secondly when he was arrested, he named the accused petitioner who is one of the big operator in the trade operating in the State of haryana but did not connect him with the present transaction. The learned counsel also tpok this Court through the statement of Sudhir Bishnoi and the accused petitioner chhotu Ram and argued that in the statement of Sudhir Bishnoi as well as that of chhotu Ram in his first statement, no involvement of the accused petitioner was mentioned.
