accused/petitioners call the informant in his house for clearance of dues amount. The informant reached there, after seen the accused/petitioner Mumtaj Shah caught him and other accused/petitioners assaulted. Accused/petitioner Mumtaj Shah also assaulted by means of rod to the informant to the intention of kill him and snatched Rs. 7200/- on his pocket.

¶25

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioner No.4 has clean antecedent and petitioner Nos.1 to 3 and 5 to 7 carry one more case other than the present one but they are on bail in the said case and they have falsely been implicated in the present case. The allegation as alleged in the FIR is false and fabricated and the petitioners have not committed any offence as alleged in the FIR. There is case and counter case. Although the petitioners are named in the FIR but there is no specific allegation of any assault or overt-act attributed against the petitioners rather there is general and omnibus allegation against petitioner Nos. 2 to 7. There is specific allegation against petitioner No.1 that he assaulted to the informant by means of iron rod but the injury report of the informant (Annexure-3) which suggests that he has received two injuries and both the injuries are simple in nature caused by hard and blunt substance.
