case. The true fact of the case is that the informant was capturing the land of the petitioner and when protest was made, the informant’s side assaulted the family members of the petitioner. However, the petitioner did not lodge any complaint as the dispute was resolved on intervention of local people. The informant’s side, after 16 days of the occurrence, lodged this FIR without any cogent reason for the delay in lodging the same. The informant meanwhile prepared false medical certificate. If the informant was seriously injured, but no such document from the hospital where he was treated has come up on record prior to lodging of the FIR. The police investigated the matter but did not send up the petitioner and two other coaccused persons to face trial. However, the learned Judicial Magistrate took cognizance against the petitioner differing with the police report. The learned counsel further submits that no offence under Section 307 IPC is made out against the petitioner as there is no repetition of blow and no life threatening injury. The petitioner is aged about 75 years and is having clean antecedent.

Learned APP opposes the submission made on behalf of the petitioner.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances and
