In this regard, it is stated that the C.T. Report which forms the basis of the allegation has been got prepared at Allahabad, while the incident is of Fatehpur.
Further contention of learned counsel for the applicant is that no offence against the applicant is disclosed and the present prosecution has been instituted with a malafide intention for the purpose of causing harassment.

At this stage, the argument raised by learned counsel for the applicant involves factual disputes and appraisal of evidence.
