The allegations against the petitioners are that they trespassed into the house of the de facto complainant - 2nd respondent and beat him and outraged the modesty of the wife the 2nd respondent and threatened them with dire consequences if he did not hand over his open land of 1200 square yards situate in Tarnaka, Lalaguda.
