In this case, the petitioners are apprehending their arrest in connection with Baheri P.S. Case No. 212 of 2023 registered for the offences under Sections 341, 323, 324, 308, 354, 504 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

As per prosecution case, in the background of land dispute, the petitioners and other accused persons assaulted the uncle of the informant with Farsa and iron rod. Petitioners also assaulted other family members of the informant causing injuries to them.
4.
Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent and have been falsely implicated in
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.7079 of 2024(2) dt.17-02-2024 2/3 this case. No occurrence as alleged has ever taken place. Petitioners and informant are co-villagers having dispute over boundary. On the date of occurrence informant and his family members attacked the petitioners and his family members and when they tried to protect themselves it resulted in a scuffle and uncle of informant and one Asha Devi received some injuries. The occurrence took place on 11.06.2023 and the fardbeyan was recorded on 14.06.2023 and no reason have been assigned for inordinate delay. Prior to the institution of the present F.I.R, the petitioner Sadhu Yadav lodged an F.I.R. bearing Baheri P.S. Case No. 211 of 2023 against the informant side.
It was submitted that both sides received injuries in the scuffle and the injuries are quite simple as it appears from the rejection order of the learned Sessions Judge. Learned counsel further submits that it also appears that the injuries are merely laceration of smaller size and there is only one injury on the uncle of the informant and this falsifies the allegation of the informant that he was given Farsa blow thrice on his person. Injuries of other persons are also only lacerated wound of smaller size. Learned counsel further submits that petitioners have no criminal history. 5.
Learned APP vehemently opposes the submission made on behalf of the petitioners.
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.7079 of 2024(2) dt.17-02-2024 3/3 6.
