According to the prosecution, on the date of incident which took place on 11.04.2024, the present applicant and other co-accused assaulted the deceased and his family members by stick etc. on account of previous disputes. It is alleged that in the incident the deceased had sustained serious Zeenat Pathan

I have heard the learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. for the Respondent-State.
