No.47242 of 2025(3) dt.15-11-2025 2/3 counsel are that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent, the so-called victim has been recovered and she has recorded her statement before the Judicial Magistrate under Section 183 of the BNSS, in which she has not supported the allegations levelled by her father in the FIR. It is further submitted that the the prosecution's story narrated in the FIR completely differs from the story narrated by the victim in her statement, which falsifies the allegation.
