7. The allegations in the F.I.R is that accused persons, started creating nuisance at the house of the informant. On protest, accused persons assaulted the informant and her family members causing injuries to them.
8. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that accused persons including these petitioners have been made accused in the present case and the acts of assault are said to have taken place on account of land dispute which began with verbal altercation. There is allegation on petitioner no.1 of having assaulted the informant with farsa due to which she sustained injury, however, the said injury is simple in nature and on petitioner no.4 of having assaulted the informant and also her son Bhagwan Prasad but it appears from the bail rejection order that all injuries are simple in nature.
