Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.77613 of 2023(3) dt.05-03-2024 2/3
petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. No occurrence as alleged has ever taken place. The petitioner and the informant are neighbours and there is land dispute between them. Petitioner was not present at the place of occurrence and due to previous land dispute he has been made accused in this case. All the witnesses are interested witnesses. Though the injury is stated to be grievous on the informant, the same is not life threatening and there is no allegation of attempt to murder against the petitioner and other co-accused persons. Allegation of outraging the modesty is only super-addition. Petitioner is having clean antecedent.
