¶17

the allegation, as alleged in the F.I.R., is false and fabricated and the petitioner has not committed any offence. He further submits that as a matter of fact the informant/O.P. No.2 does not want to reside with the petitioner. He further submits that the petitioner is always ready to keep the informant/O.P. No.2 as wife with full honour and dignity. He further submits that the petitioner has never assaulted the informant nor he demanded any dowry from the informant.

¶18

Learned A.P.P. for the State on the basis of material available on record and the case diary vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner and submits that though there is serious allegation against the petitioner that he has tried to kill the informant but he fairly submits that no cogent material has surfaced during course of investigation suggesting the involvement of the petitioner in the alleged occurrence and despite valid service of notice, the informant has chosen not to appear before this Court.
