Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that it is a case of version and cross-version, in which both the parties are accused. There is a delay of 47 days in registration of FIR. It is stated by the complainant in FIR that they were trying to compromise the matter. It is for the reason that ear- lier father of the petitioner, had filed complaint against the nephew of the complainant and also the witnesses cited by them, in the year 2008, in which the accused persons have been summoned and they are facing trial. One per- son namely, Hardwari Lal from the side of the petitioner was arrested and released on regular bail.

He shall appear be- fore the Investigating Officer as and when called upon for investigation. He shall be bound by all the conditions as contended under section 438 (2) Cr.P.C.
