2.

Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that the applicant outraged modesty of the complainant and threatened her also, thereby, committed the offence.

3.

Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the applicant has not committed the offence and he has falsely been implicated in the crime in question. Charge-sheet has been filed. He is

in custody since 20.03.2018. No useful purpose would be served by keeping him in jail.
