It is submitted on behalf of petitioner that petitioner is quite innocent and has committed no offence.

It is further submitted that petitioner is ready to keep the complainant, as his wife, with full honour and dignity. It is next submitted that the case is triable by the Magistrate. In this connection, learned counsel for the petitioner has relied upon a judgment of this Court in the case of Md. Naimul Haque Ansari @ Naimul Haque Ansari & Ors. Vs. The State of Bihar , reported in 2006(3) PLJR 182 . Petitioner claims clean antecedents.
