I have heard counsel for the parties and gone through the contents of the FIR. Counsel for the petitioner contends that when the answering sheet of the petitioner was lost by the Examiner, the instant false FIR was lodged stating that the petitioner ran away with the answering sheet from the Examination Hall. He further contends that the examination was held between 9.30 a.m. to 12.30 a.m. and FIR has been registered in the evening. This fact itself indicates that the allegations are concocted.
