4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that no such occurrence, as alleged in the F.I.R., has ever taken place, but only to humiliate and harass the petitioner, this false and concocted case has been lodged by opposite party no. 2 on 03.09.2022. He further submits that just on the next date of filing the present case i.e. on 04.09.2022, the informant has lodged another case, vide Kondi P.S. Case No. 37 of 2022 leveling similar allegation.
