Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is an innocent person who has been falsely implicated in the case, and that he did not commit any offence. He asserted that the petitioner had merely intervened in a situation where the de-facto complainant was teasing the sister of Accused No.1 at a wedding function, and had helped to pacify the issue before leaving the scene. He averred that the petitioner is a stranger to the de-facto complainant and has been wrongly roped into the case. Therefore, while advocating that the petitioner is willing to furnish suitable security and abide by any conditions imposed by the Court, he prayed this Court to allow the criminal petition, granting the relief of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 5.
