5. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that appellant is innocent and has committed no offence. As a matter of fact, no occurrence, as alleged, has ever taken place and appellant has falsely been implicated in this case due to old enmity. There is no allegation of abuse by caste name in the F.I.R., as such, no offence under SC/ST Act is made out against appellant. Appellant claims clean antecedent.
