The material on record reveals that Shabana had sustained grievous injuries. Her statement reveals that the said injury was caused by the Applicant Rashid by giving fist blow on her face. The injuries sustained by the other two injured persons are simple in nature. The material on record does not indicate that these Applicants were armed with dangerous weapons or that they had inflicted injuries by means of any weapon as specified under Section 326 of IPC. Hence, prima facie offence under Section 326 is not made out. The other offences are bailable.
