The case of the prosecution, is that on 07/06/2026 the complainant namely Chhotu Uraav has lodged oral report against the co-accused person stating that on 07/06/2026 at about 8.30 pm his father namely Laxman Singh Uraav was roaming around the locality abusing after consuming liquor. The people of the locality held a panchayat and tried to pacify complainant father by calling him but the complainant father did not attend the panchayat then the co-accused person assaulted the father of the complainant with the help of stick and bricks on the part of head and back side of body. Thereafter police has lodged FIR against the co-accused person, and on the basis of memorandum statement of the co-accused, the applicants have been made accused in the crime in question. Hence, this application. 3. It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicants that the applicants are innocent and have been falsely implicated in this case and there is no criminal antecedents registered against the applicants. It is further submitted that the charge-sheet has been filed in this case. It is further submitted that the co-accused persons have been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 10.08.2026 passed in MCRC No.7298/2026.
