¶19

Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that an FIR was filed regarding this occurrence. After investigation, police has submitted final form. Against that final form, a protest was filed and learned trial court has taken cognizance on the basis of protest. This case is based on protest. Learned counsel has submitted that there is also a counter version of this case and from both side, one person each has died. From perusal of the Protest Petition, it is clear that the nature of allegation is general and omnibus. There is no specific allegation against the petitioners. He has further submitted that as police has filed final form, the petitioners have no knowledge regarding the summon, that is why, the delay has been occurred.
