Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that on 22.07.2026 at about 6:30 AM when Pravin Rawat along with others plowing the backyard of the agricultural field with a tractor, they were stopped by Kamalpati (Aunt of complainant) and called her family members upon which Devraj (father), Shampati (mother) and Ram Bergah (brother) came on the spot. They have tried to quarrel with Kamalpati as to why she is interfering the plowing of agricultural field. Upon which Sukhsagar, Dev Kumar, Kurlu @ Ramesh came their and thereafter, Sukhsagar assaulted Devraj and Shampati was assaulted by accused and other persons assaulted by Ramesh. Incident was reported to the concerned Police Station and applicant was apprehended. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that applicant has been falsely implicated in the aforementioned crime, he has not committed any offence. He further submits that he has not participated in the aforementioned crime and he has been implicated only because he is member of Kamalpati (aunt of complainant). He also submits that from the contents of the FIR it is clear that there is a family disputed between the -3- complainant family and applicant and the dispute was with regard to the land. There was some revenue case between the parties pending before the Sub Divisional Officer (Revenue). Applicant’s name is not specifically mentioned in the FIR of assaulting even when the FIR was lodged by the person who was present on the spot. There is no criminal antecedent against the applicant. Hence he may be enlarged on bail. 4. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the submission of learned counsel for the applicant. She further submits that applicant along with other have assaulted the complainant by means of axes and clubs due to which four persons have received injuries over the vital part of their bodies. 5. Upon putting query to the learned counsel for the State with regard to the nature of injuries sustained by the injured persons she fairly submits that in the MLC Report it is mentioned that Anurag and Ram Bergah received simple injuries. Nature of injury is not mentioned in MLC of Devraj. 6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents available on record. 7. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, nature of allegations and further considering the manner in which the fight started in the FIR it is not specifically mentioned that the applicant has assaulted the persons injured. Moreover, -4- there is no criminal antecedent registered against the applicant, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I am inclined to allow the present application. 8.
