Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.57326 of 2025(3) dt.17-10-2025 2/3 and co-accused, Arun Yadav assaulted him with a sharp cutting axe causing injuries to him and the informant was also being assaulted.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that it would be apparent from the first information report itself that there is specific allegation on co-accused, Arun Yadav of having assaulted the deceased, Karu Yadav and the postmortem report which is part of the case diary also indicates that there is one incised/lacerated wound present on the parieto occipital area while other injuries are on non-vital parts of the body and the cause of death has been opined to be probably by hard and blunt substance. It is specific submission on behalf of the petitioner that the petitioner no.1, Umesh Yadav was alleged to be armed with musket, which seems to be a false allegation as the same was never put to use. So far as petitioner no.2 is concerned, there is general and omnibus allegation in the first information report as against him.
It has also been pointed out that with regard to injury suffered by the informant at the hands of petitioner no.1 and others has also resulted in simple injuries, which would appear from the injury report as indicated in para 131 of the case diary.
