5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the marriage had taken place in the year 2011 and the present case was filed in the year 2022 with false and baseless allegations. It is further submitted that the petitioner has never tortured the complainant and as a matter of fact, he has always been ready to keep his wife with due dignity and honour, but it is the complainant who does not want to stay with the petitioner in her matrimonial house.
6. Learned APP for the State and learned counsel appearing for the complainant oppose the prayer for anticipatory bail and support the allegations levelled against the petitioner.
