3. The injury report submitted by the learned counsel for the informant is taken on record.
4. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioners with vehemence that taking into account the background in which the offence has been committed in the light of the counter FIR, exaggerated allegations have been made. Hence, the Petitioners may be protected by pre-arrest bail.

6. This Court perused the injuries suffered by the injured, namely, Buri Babu Rao.
