¶18

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have clean antecedents and they have been falsely implicated in the present case and it appears from the F.I.R. that the present occurrence had taken place due to admitted land dispute and there is case and counter case between the parties. Although, the petitioners are named in the F.I.R. and there is specific allegation against petitioner no. 1 that he has assaulted to the informant and the informant has received injury but the injury report of the informant suggests that the injury is simple in nature. As per injury report of Kanhaiya Kumar Thakur is concerned, the injury of Kanhaiya Kumar Thakur suggests that the injury is grievous in nature but from perusal of the injury report which suggests that due to fracture on his left leg the injury is grievous which is not vital part of the body of the injured person.

¶19

Learned counsel for the Informant as well as learned APP for the State, on the other hand, opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners and submits that the petitioners are named in the F.I.R. and with a common intention they have assaulted to the informant and his family members and injury inflicted upon Kanhaiya Kumar Thakur is grievous in nature.
