Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that the present applicant has been falsely implicated in the case as he has not committed any offence as alleged.

Initially, no allegations have been levelled against the present applicant and only allegation relating to Section 74 B.N.S. has been levelled. While recording statement under Section 180 B.N.S.S., only allegation relating to Section 74 of B.N.S. has been levelled but while recording statement under Section 183 B.N.S.S., the allegation of fingering has been levelled. The medical examination report did not support the allegation. The informant/ prosecutrix is a married lady of 37 years and on account of dispute between the families, the FIRs have been lodged from both the sides. The applicant has explained his criminal history. Charge sheet has not been filed. The applicant undertakes that if he is released on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail and he shall abide by all terms and conditions of

the bail order. Further, he shall cooperate in the investigation and after filing of police report, he shall cooperate in the trial proceedings.
