The deponent named above hereby solemnly and affirms as follows:—

1. That I am the deponent referred to above and the accused in Sessions Case No , which is allegedly for an offence punishable under section 307 read with sections 120B and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.
2.That I am fully familiar with the facts and the circumstances of the case and I am competent to depose to the facts mentioned hereunder.
3.That I am not guilty of the offence with which I am charged and I am innocent. I have been falsely implicated in the Sessions Case for having allegedly committed the offence referred to above due to past enmity with the de facto complainant who had given the First Information Statement to the Police. The aforesaid case arose out of the First Information Statement referred to above. The F.I.R. dated , lodged by the Police-station, was that I arrived at the residence of the original complainant, at pm on the , 20 , and tried to attack him with a lathi. A true copy of the F.I.R. has been filed before this Hon’ble Court.
4.That the aforesaid facts stated in the F.I.R. are totally false, concocted and born out of the figment of the wild imagination of the informant and the Police who have registered the crime.
5.That despite the fact that the deponent was arrested a few days ago, no weapon or other material object was discovered or recovered from his person or was shown by him. The memo of arrest, which is produced herewith, will clearly bear this fact out.
6.That there is no independent evidence from any reliable source whatsoever as to the occurrence and the entire prosecution case is a fictitious one.
7.That no occurrence of a criminal nature, much less like the one alleged against the deponent, has ever taken place.
8.That the deponent is unnecessarily detained and his freedom of movement and action is curtailed, totally violating his fundamental rights.
9.That the applicant is the only earning member of his family and earns out his livelihood as a contractor. He has a large family consisting of his wife, two children, two younger siblings and aged parents. In the event of the deponent’s continuing status as a detainee, his family will be forced to starve.
10.That the deponent applicant is willing to provide two solvent sureties in the event of being granted bail by this Hon’ble Court. He also undertakes to abide by all the conditions this Hon’ble Court deems fit to impose for the purpose of releasing him on bail. Further, the deponent will willingly co-operate with the investigation and not try to influence any witnesses or hamper any evidence.
11.That the deponent has not filed any bail application earlier, nor is any bail application of his is pending before this or any other Court.
12.That the deponent has never been convicted of any offence before, nor has he been implicated in any crime whatsoever.
