There is case and counter case between the parties. The petitioners may have caused some injury to the informant's side in their self defence without intention.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.60801 of 2025(2) dt.10-09-2025 3/3 Para-3 of the bail petition, this order will automatically lose its force.
