On the basis of said, offence has been registered.

4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the applicants submits that the applicants have been falsely implicated in the present case due to some dispute. He submits that apart from Section 452 of IPC all the other offences are bailable in nature. Both the parties have settled their matter and a compromise
