It is further submitted that both the petitioner and the informant are full brothers and there is admitted land dispute between the parties. It is next submitted that there is no repetition of blow, inasmuch as from the F.I.R. it is evident that none of the accused persons, including the petitioner, were having the spade in his hand, but surprisingly the allegation has been levelled that the petitioner assaulted the informant by means of spade.
