2. The case of the prosecution is that due to land dispute, there was a wordy quarrel between the petitioners and the defacto complainant's husband. It is also alleged that the petitioners attacked the defacto complainant's husband with wooden log and stones and caused injuries. Hence, the complaint.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are innocent persons and no way connected with the alleged offence. Hence, he prays to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

4. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor submits that due to land dispute, there was a wordy quarrel between the petitioners and the defacto complainant's husband. The petitioners attacked the defacto complainant's

husband with wooden log and stones and caused grievous injuries. Hence, he vehemently opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
