They apprehend arrest in Siswan (Chainpur) Police Station Case No 16 of 2009 for an offence under Section 307 and other sections of Indian Penal Code. From the reading of the first information report, in the present case, there appears to be general and omnibus allegation against over 19 persons of assault and the only reason given therein is previous enmity with all those 19 persons in relation to land. On behalf of petitioners, it is submitted that in fact the dispute started with the prosecution party trying to remove certain trees from petitioner’s land for burning on Holi. This resulted in altercation between the two for which from the side of the petitioners, Siswan (Chainpur) Police Station Case No 15 of 2009 was first instituted and then this case was instituted in retaliation. It is stated that the nature of injuries also suggest that it was never the intention of either side to kill each other but it was a minor altercation in which groups were formed and a free for all fight took place. Be that as it may, if the petitioners abovenamed surrender 2 before the Court below within 4 weeks from today, they shall be released on bail on each of them furnishing bonds of Rs 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Siwan in Siswan (Chainpur) Police Station Case No 16 of 2009 subject to all conditions as laid down in Section 438 (2) of Criminal Procedure Code.
