4. Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent and have committed no offence. Counsel submits that from the contents of the FIR, it becomes crystal clear that there is no allegation of any act or overt act against petitioner No. 1 and as for petitioner Nos. 2 and 3, there is absolutely nothing save and except that they were allegedly members of the mob. Counsel further submits that it is evident from the FIR that the petitioners and the informant belong to the same village and same Police Station, are well-known to each other, and that the cause of the dispute is clearly mentioned in the FIR. The dispute arose due to a scuffle between the children of the accused persons, leading to the present case.

Counsel for the petitioners further submits that, for the same date and place of occurrence, there are case and counter-case, one case was lodged from the informant's side, i.e., Shivsagar P.S. Case No. 30 of 2024 and another case was lodged from the petitioners' side, i.e., Shivsagar P.S. Case No. 31 of 2024. Counsel further submits that both the petitioners and the informant have no criminal antecedents but under sudden anger, this case has arisen.
