Accused persons chasing the informant, entered in his house and dragged him out and assaulted with leg, fists and fat. Accused persons also assaulted his wife on the order of accused Sokri Devi.

It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that petitioners are innocent and have committed no offence. It has further been submitted that petitioners’ side and informant’s side are co-villagers and they have been falsely implicated due to land dispute and some case is going on between them. It has further been submitted that the informant has since died and his wife Sunita Devi has entered into compromise with the petitioners, hence, the allegation against these petitioners does not subsist.

¶9

However, learned Special P.P. for the State submits that the petitioners are named in the First Information Report, hence, opposes the prayer for bail.

Be that as it may, since there was land dispute between the parties and the informant has since died and the matter has been compromised by the informant’s wife, let the petitioners, above named, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the Court below within a period of eight weeks from today,
