Counsel for the applicant submits that applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. On perusal of contents of first information report, prima facie, no offence under alleged sections is made out against the applicant. It is a civil nature dispute. Investigation is still going on. Applicant has no criminal history to his credit. Lastly, it is submitted that the applicant is apprehensive of imminent arrest. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he would not misuse the liberty of bail and would cooperate with the investigation.
