2. The allegation against the petitioners is that, due to pathway dispute, a wordy quarrel arose, pursuant to which the petitioners allegedly attacked the defacto complainant and his family members with a wooden log, thereby causing injuries to them. Hence, the present case has been registered.
3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case, due to previous enmity with regard to pathway dispute. He further submitted that they are ready to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, he prayed for the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police reiterated the prosecution case and submitted that the petitioners have no previous cases pending against them and that the injured was discharged from the hospital.
