Allegedly on the fateful day, all the FIR named accused persons came to the door of the informant and started abusing as to why he has harvested the crops of wheat, despite the fact it belongs to them. When the same was objected by the informant, on the exhortation made by co-accused Jaynath Yadav, all the other accused persons including the petitioners have brutally assaulted the informant and his brothers, as well as other family members, due to which four persons have sustained serious injuries. 4.
Learned Advocate appearing on behalf of the petitioners taking this Court through the FIR contended that admittedly there is a land dispute, which resulted into a free fight, leading to injuries to persons of both the sides. There is a counter version of the present case being Lokha P.S. Case No. 40 of 2025 instituted against seventeen accused persons including the informant of the present case. Injuries which are allegedly sustained to the informant and others, all of them have been found to be simple in nature. To support the aforesaid contention, the copies of the injury report has been placed on record as Annexure P/3 series. The petitioners are said to be men of fair antecedent. Patna High Court CR.
