4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence as alleged in the F.I.R. The complainant has implicated the petitioner when he got to know about the bouncing of the cheque on 14.11.2014, and thus the present complaint case has been registered on a false pretext on 18.11.2014. Learned counsel further submits that, as per the complaint petition itself, the two cheques allegedly issued by the complainant were never encashed in favour of the petitioner. It is further contended that, in relation to the same dispute, the petitioner has also instituted a complaint case against the present complainant. It is also submitted that as per para 3 of the bail application, petitioner has got clean antecedent.
