The petitioner contended that the case was registered just by relying on the statements of Gadhagoni Chakradhar recorded in the case. The petition states that the FIR was filed only to languish the petitioner in prison who already spent 10 months in jail and that the allegations in the FIR were already dealt with before the High Court before granting him bail.

The petition further states that the FIR was registered due to political vendetta and with the sole intention of denying him bail in the case.
