The pres ent complaint is based on false and frivo lous allegations, it has been lodged due to ulterior motive because the O.P. No. 2 was not having the good relation with her hus band Hakim Singh the deceased of this case. The divorce has been taken place between them in the year 2005. The O.P. No. 2 was residing at a distance of about 50 km. from the alleged place of occurrence, she was not eye -witness of the alleged occurrence even on the day of alleged incident he did not come at the place of occur rence but subsequently due to ulterior mo tive at the instance of some other persons the complaint has been lodged by O.P. No. 2 because the persons facing the trial are notorious persons and to give a different version they have successfully persuaded the O.P. No. 2 to lodge the FIR.
