It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioners that the petitioners have got no criminal antecedent. There is no allegation of tampering of witnesses alleged against the petitioners. The petitioners have falsely been implicated in the present case. So far petitioner No.1 is concerned, he is alleged to have assaulted with butt of the gun on the chest of Chameli Devi. From perusal of the injury report of Chameli Devi, it appears that there is no injury on the chest of the said victim, though there are other injuries, which is on her skull. Said injury is alleged to have been caused by the other co-accused as narrated in the F.I.R. itself. So far the petitioner No.1 is concerned, the injury report does not support the allegations in respect of petitioner No.1. Allegation against the petitioner No.2 is that he assaulted Rekha Devi. From perusal of the order of the Sessions Court, it appears that there is no reference in respect of injury report of Rekha Devi. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioners that on record there is no such injury

3/4 report to support the allegations in respect of victim Rekha Devi. As far as petitioner No.3 is concerned, the nature of injury is said to be simple. Hence no offence under Section 307 of I.P.C. is made out against him. At best, an offence under Section 324 of I.P.C. is made out against petitioner No.3. There is admitted land dispute between the parties. The case has been instituted after two days of the alleged occurrence. Delay has not been explained by the prosecution.

On behalf of the State, it is submitted that the petitioners are named in the complaint case/F.I.R.
