¶17

The prosecution story is completely false and concocted. The occurrence took place on 13.02.2024 and 11.03.2024 whereas FIR has been lodged on 15.03.2024 and there is no explanation for the inordinate delay. The petitioner is a teacher and is having good reputation in society and the informant has been terminated from his service by the out sourcing agency on 30.04.2024 as several complaints were received against him. The informant has no business checking the attendance of the Headmaster as he has been entrusted with the task of managing the Mid Day Meal Scheme but the informant was not sincere in discharging his duties and the same was objected by the petitioner. There has been demand of illegal gratification from the informant which was not met by the petitioner and for these reasons this false case has been lodged against the petitioner who is having clean antecedent.

¶18

Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the submission made on behalf of the learned counsel for the petitioner.
