It is submitted by learned counsel for the Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.10243 of 2012 (2) dt.30-03-2012 2/3 petitioners that on the eve of Durga Puja the occurrence took place when in the FIR accused persons were 15 persons and in fact no injury was caused to any of the victims. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners substantiated from the injury report which reflects that for the occurrence of 05.10.2011 the informant and his brother were examined by a private doctor on 09.10.2011 when the private doctor referred them to Sadar Hospital or to Sri Krishna Medical College and Hospital.
