2. The case of the prosecution is that on the date of occurrence, when the defacto complainant was having lunch in a mobile food stall, a wordy quarrel arose between the petitioner and the defacto complainant and subsequently, the defacto complainant was attacked by the petitioner herein with wooden log. Further that the petitioner snatched the chain of the defacto complainant. Hence, the complaint.

hampered and witnesses being threatened. He however concedes that the defacto complainant had been discharged from the hospital, having suffered head injuries.
