the petitioners are innocent and have been falsely implicated in this case. No occurrence as alleged has ever taken place. The land dispute is admitted in the FIR. The informant and the petitioners are co-sharers. Due to land dispute, some altercation and fight took place between two groups and three persons got injured and most of them have suffered simple injury. The grievous injury has been found on the father of the informant, but the author of the said injury is the co-accused Mithun Kumar and not these petitioners against whom there is general allegation and the injury reports of victims or these petitioners show simple injuries. The petitioners have no criminal history.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances and submissions made on behalf of the parties and considering the background of land dispute and non-serious nature of injuries of the victims and also considering the possibility of false accusation, let the petitioners, above named, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the court concerned within a period of eight weeks from today, be released on bail, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (twenty thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief
