The victim moved an application before the court concerned for recording of her statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C., upon which the court concerned ordered the Investigating Officer to submit its report. Learned A.G.A. also admits that the statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C. of the victim was not recorded. Thus, in absence of any such allegation levelled by the victim, it cannot be said that applicant has committed any offence. Several other submissions in order to demonstrate the falsity of the allegations made against the applicant have also been placed before the Court. The circumstances which, according to the counsel, led to the false implication of the accused have also been mentioned. It has also been assured on behalf of the applicant that he is ready to cooperate with the process of law and shall faithfully make himself available before the court whenever required and is also ready to accept all the conditions which the Court may deem fit to impose upon him.
