Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the FIR was filed by the first informant alleging that at the time of holding programme of Anuradha Theatre at Bongaigaon, the accused/petitioners took away all the articles of theatre hall t o Barpeta saying that all artists will be taken to perform at Barpeta but no veh icle, as told was given for the artists.
