It is submitted by Mr. Kalita that the present accused/petitioner is innocent and has not committed any such offence as alleged in the FIR. However, it is a fact that there is some dispute between husband and wife and she wanted to live separately from his family members and that apart there is no such incident as alleged in the FIR. However, the petitioner is in custody since last 41 days and hence considering the period of detention, he may be enlarged on bail. He being the permanent resident of the addressed locality will extend his cooperation, if it is required. 4. Mr. Baruah, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor raised objection and submitted that Case Diary may reveal the actual fact of the case as the allegation of rape is also brought against the present petitioner. 5.
