The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent and have been falsely implicated in this case. In the background of land dispute, free fight took place between the parties and both sides received injuries. However, the injuries of the informant and his sons are quite simple and the injury reports show swelling, abrasion and laceration on non-vital parts. It is further submitted that for the same occurrence, the petitioners’ side earlier lodged Khagaria (Muffasil) P.S. Case No. 593 of 2019. The present FIR has been lodged on the basis of complaint petition and the said complaint petition was lodged after delay of 18 days, for which there is no explanation. The petitioners are having clean antecedent.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances and submissions made on behalf of the parties and considering the background of land dispute and case and counter case of the parties and further considering the non-serious and simple nature of injuries and possibility of false implication, let the petitioners above named, in the event of arrest or surrender
