Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.35253 of 2025(3) dt.03-09-2025 2/3 gold chain worth Rs. 30000/- from the neck of the informant. In the last line of the prosecution story, it is claimed that informant's wife and villagers came for pacifying the matter and police came on information given by them on 112 number.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners are innocent and have committed no offence as alleged in the first information report and they have been falsely implicated in this case. Learned counsel submits that though there is allegation of assault by means of iron Rama and Gadasa against both the petitioners respectively but the injuries sustained by the informant and his wife have been found to be simple in nature caused by hard and blunt substance, as is evident from the Injury Reports contained in Annexure- P/3 (series). The allegations levelled in the first information report is totally inconsistent with the injury report. He submits that there is case and counter case between the parties. Petitioner's side has also filed case against the informant's side vide Bishambharpur P.S. Case No. 61 of 2025 (Annexure-P/2). It is submitted that Nirmala Devi (petitioner no. 2) was attacked by the informant in which she suffered serious head injury.
