352, 351(2), (3), 3(5) of the B.N.S. and Sections 3(1)(r)(s) of the SC/ST Act, whereby their prayer for being released on bail, in anticipation of arrest, has been rejected.

¶22

Learned counsel for the appellants submits that appellants are innocent and have falsely been implicated in this case. A quarrel had taken place between the parties for loading of sand on their tractors as both sides have tractors for carrying and selling sand from the bank of the river. Both parties have got injuries. It is further submitted that injuries on the injured are simple in nature, except one injury which is lacerated wound over left index finger. There is case and counter case between the parties. The occurrence has not taken place in public view or at public place and the allegation of abusing by taking caste name is super-addition. Appellants have no criminal antecedents. It is further submitted that there is no likelihood of tampering the evidence or absconding the appellants.
