2.Heard both sides.
3.The case of the prosecution is that due to wordy quarrel, the petitioners abused the defacto complainant with filthy language and assaulted the defacto complainant with iron rod.

On the basis of the complaint lodged by the defacto complainant, the respondent police registered a case against the petitioners. 4.The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners did not commit any offence as alleged by the prosecution.
