Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.19493 of 2026(2) dt.06-04-2026 2/3 nos. 2 and 3.

8. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that at the outset, the first information report has been lodged after delay of three days. A bare perusal of the FIR indicates that there was a dispute between the parties which arose at the spur of the moment and the same also led to a fight between them. It is further submitted that although there is allegation on petitioner nos. 2 and 3 of having assaulted by means of country made pistol and iron rod, it is also a fact that the country made pistol was not used for firing, as such, Section 109 of the BNS would not be attracted. It has also been submitted that a compromise has taken place between the parties.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.19493 of 2026(2) dt.06-04-2026 3/3 instruction, submits that the parties have compromised the matter and are not desirous of pursuing the same.
