Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that bare perusal of the First Information Report itself would indicate that there was a pre-existing dispute between the parties and the allegation of assault by means of dangerous weapons like sword, gandasa etc. whereas the injury report of the injured persons as available in the case diary would indicate that the injury has been caused by hard and blunt object and the same is also simple in nature.

It is also submitted that the Petitioner Nos. 1 and 2 are the senior citizens and there is no chance of absconding and tampering with evidence.
