The allegation as per the First Information Report is that petitioner along with 14 named accused persons and some unknown persons assaulted the informant and it is further stated that petitioner assaulted the informant by means of "lathi" and "tangi" on the head of the informant.

Learned counsel further referring to Annexure - "3" to the petition submits that injuries caused to the informant are simple in nature as per the opinion of the doctor.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the informant vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submits that altogether 15 persons including the petitioner brutally assaulted the informant and his other family members, as such, the petitioner does not deserve the privilege of bail.
