3. As per prosecution case, the petitioners and coaccused persons snatched the grocery items from the informant while she has been returning from the shop and, thereafter, they assaulted her with iron rod, lathi, slaps and fists. When the family members of the informant came for her rescue, the petitioners and other co-accused persons also assaulted them with lathi and danda. While running away from the spot, the accused persons
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.862 of 2025(2) dt.17-01-2025 2/3 took away the owner book of three vehicles and cash from the son of the informant.
4. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent and have been falsely implicated in this case. No occurrence in the manner as alleged has ever taken place. There is a counter version of the same occurrence and mother of one of the co-accused persons has lodged Sheikhpura P.S. Case No.208 of 2024 under Sections 341, 323, 504, 506, 354(B), 307/34 IPC against the informant's side and from the counter version, the background of the dispute becomes clear. A family member of the informant of this case was consuming liquor and assaulted the mother of the co-accused under the influence of liquor and due to this fact, a free-fight between two groups took place.
The injury reports of the injured persons show they have received only simple injuries except for injury of husband of the informant as opinion has been reserved with regard to his injury. The learned counsel further submits that there was no intention to cause death and injuries are merely laceration, pain right check and backache. The learned counsel further submits that in the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, no offence under Section 307 IPC is made out against the petitioner who are having clean antecedent.
5. Learned APP opposes the submission made on behalf
