( 2 ) 4] Learned APP submitted that all the accused had assaulted the injured with weapons. Role has been attributed to the applicant. He has been named in the FIR.

5] Co-accused Sarfaraj Khan had preferred ABA No.914 of 2021 before this Court, which has been allowed by order dated 22nd September, 2021. The role ascribed to the said accused and the accused is similar. While allowing the said application, it was observed that iron rod and wooden log were recovered during the investigation at the instance of accused Javed Khan Ayub Khan. 6] On perusal of the FIR, indeed it appears that it is vaguely stated that all the accused had assaulted the complainant.
