                   11.02.2025. Further, both were studying in the same coaching centre,

                   accordingly, the informant went to the house of the petitioner when

                   that she is falsely implicating the petitioner.

                                 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

                   petitioner has been falsely implicated in the instant case by the
