2. The case of the prosecution is that on 05.04.2024, defacto Complainant warned the petitioner publicly not to tease his daughter. Same day at about 9.00 p.m, the petitioner along with other accused attacked the defacto Complainant with wooden log and aruval and abused him in a filthy language, due to which the defacto Complainant was taken to hospital for the injuries sustained.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution and a false case has been foisted against them for statistical purpose. Hence, he 1/5
