The learned counsel submits that the present case was lodged without verifying the true facts, which would appear from the deposition of the informant in the said sessions trial, as contained in Annexure 3 to the petition, wherein he has deposed that the case was lodged by him on account of wrong information given to him. The learned APP appearing on behalf of the State submits that the allegation of demand has been made against these petitioners.
