(2.) THE contention of the learned counsel for the applicant is that no offence against the applicant is disclosed and the present prosecution has been instituted with malafide intentions for the purposes of harassment. He pointed out certain documents and statements in support of his contentions. From the perusal of material on record and looking into the facts of the case at this stage it cannot be said that no offence is made out against the applicant.
