3. The prosecution case, as per the First Information Report, is that on 08.01.2026, the petitioners along with other accused persons assaulted the informant with farsa, rod and also snatched golden chain.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the entire family members have been made accused in this case due to land dispute between the parties. The petitioners side also tried to lodge a case before Ghorasahan Police Station inasmuch as during the marriage ceremony the informant side entered into the house of the petitioners and also assaulted the petitioners and also looted the articles kept for marriage ceremony. The petitioners side tried to lodge FIR but the FIR was not accepted for which the petitioners lodge the complaint on 09.01.2026 before the Superintendent of Police, East Champaran, Motihari. Subsequently, the present FIR has been lodged by the informant on 10.01.2026 which is counterblast to the case which the petitioners tried to lodge before Ghorasahan Police Station. On the basis of complaint made by the petitioners, the S.H.O., Ghorasahan Police Station, namely, Sri Sanjeev Kumar has been sent to Police line, Motihari. A Writ petition is also filed by the petitioners. The injury sustained by the informant is simple in nature.
