It is next submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that charge sheet has been submitted in this case, but no witness has been examined as yet. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant/victim or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
