As per the prosecution, FIR has been lodged against eight named accused persons including the present petitioners. The allegation against the petitioners is that when the informant was returning from the field doing agricultural work, then all the named accused persons have surrounded and started abusing and assaulted the informant and his brother.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submit that the petitioners are innocent and have committed no offence. Counsel further submits that from the contents of the F.I.R., the dispute is very much clear i.e. due to Patwan in the agricultural land. Counsel submits the both parties are resident of the same village and during agricultural season, the dispute started over agricultural work between the parties. He submits that the injury report of the informant is annexed as Annexure-P/2 which shows that the injury is simple in nature. Counsel further submits that the petitioner nos. 1 and 2 have clean antecedent, whereas, the petitioner nos. 3 and 5 have one criminal antecedent each and the petitioner no.4 has two criminal antecedents. Counsel further submits that the specific allegation is against accused Bhagwan Das who was arrested and granted bail from the trial court itself.
