JUSTICE HEMANT KUMAR SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 03/ 14.12.2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is in jail custody since 1.8.2012 in a case registered under [STATUTE] . Admittedly, informant is not an eye witness of the alleged occurrence and he came to know about the alleged occurrence from the victim girl whose statement has been recorded at para 6 of the case diary in which she stated that petitioner attempted to commit rape on her.

The contention on behalf of the petitioner is that no case under [STATUTE] is made out and even if the prosecution story assumed to be true, then also, at best, it is a case of [STATUTE] . It is further contended by him that, as a matter of fact, false case has been brought by the informant on account of previous dispute as there was some dues against the informant.
