4. Learned Advocate for the petitioners contended that with regard to the occurrence, which took place on 05.06.2025, the present FIR came to be instituted on 14.06.2025, without there being any explanation and, as such, the deliberation and afterthought cannot be ruled out. The FIR also suggests that none has sustained any injury nor there is any discussion in this regard in the impugned order. Both the parties are agnate and there is a family dispute, which led to filing of the present FIR only with a view to mount pressure. The petitioners undertake that they will full cooperate in the proceeding of the Court.
