Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have not committed any offence in the manner alleged and both the parties are agnates and co-villagers and there is case and counter case inasmuch as from the side of the petitioners, Praveen Ravidas has lodged Beur Police Station Case No. 395 of 2019 (Annexure-2) against the informant and others. He further submits that in the case lodged by the side of the petitioners, the informant of the present case has been granted anticipatory bail by this Court, vide order, passed in Criminal Misc.
