the transformer is required to be replaced and it would take two days they started abusing and assaulting those three persons who were given primary treatment in Bausi Hospital.

¶18

Learned counsel for the petitiners submits that the petitioners are innocent, committed no offence and have been falsely implicated in the present case with oblique purpose and ulterior motive. He submits that transformer from which the electricity supplied to the mohalla of petitioners was not functioning since more than two weeks and no action was being taken by the local authorities after repeated requests to rectify the same as without electricity the life of the mohalla people became very difficult. He further submits that on the alleged date of occurrence, a group of more than 20 persons approached the authorities to rectify the same but they asked them to arrange either a transformer or money for the same. He further submits that people objected to this behavior as for last 15 days no one visited to see whether that the problem in the transformer can be rectified or not so the electrician was made to be seated on motorcycle and taken to the transformer.
