The case of the prosecution is that as many as twenty one accused persons including the petitioners entered into the house of the informant for the purpose of committing dacoity and indulged in assault causing injuries to the informant and others. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners at the outset submits that the informant and the petitioners are gotias and the present FIR has been lodged after inordinate delay of three days for which there is no explanation tendered by the informant. It is further submitted that the narration of facts in the FIR would also disclose that the main thrust of assault with sword rests on accused Md. Sanwaj, Md. Saif Ali and Md. Jamir and so far as these petitioners are concerned, Petitioner Nos. 2 and 3 were dragging daughter of informant's sister with intent to disrobe her and other petitioners have been imputed only with general and omnibus allegation and the injuries are also of simple nature and one of the co-accused Md. Sakil had earlier filed an FIR against the informant and a title suit is also pending between the parties. 5. The application for anticipatory bail is opposed by learned A.P.P. for the State as well as learned counsel for the in- formant on account of the fact that there are allegations of as- sault and injuries have been received on the informant's side.
