him to the Block Office. When the informant arrived at the Block Office, he slated him in the name of his caste, pressed his neck and assaulted him by means of leg, fist and knife and tore his documents asking him to get the resignation of his wife tendered.

¶17

It is submitted by learned counsel for the appellant that no such occurrence as alleged ever took place. As a matter of fact, appellant has lodged Rafiganj P.S. Case No. 207/2019 against the informant and in order to save skin from the said case, informant has lodged this false and frivolous case after eight days delay without assigning any plausible explanation for the said delay, which creates serious doubt about the prosecution case. Informant has not sustained any knife injury as the doctor has not found the said injury on his person and other injury sustained by the informant is simple in nature. Appellant has no criminal antecedent.

Learned Spl. PP for the State opposed the prayer
