On behalf of petitioners, it is pointed out that the present case has been instituted on basis of a complaint which was lodged on 22.06.2009 in respect of an occurrence dated 05.06.2009. The dispute essentially is with regard to construction. The two sides are neighbouring land holders as admitted in the complaint itself. There is no plausible explanation for the inordinate delay in lodging the complaint. In the meantime, long before the complaint was lodged, on side of the petitioner, a complaint had already been lodged on 16.06.2009 which has given rise to Ahiyapur Police Station Case No 201 of 2009 against the informant and others. This case is only in retaliation. Be that as it may, the petitioners abovenamed are directed to surrender before the Court below within four weeks from today and if they do so, they shall be released on bail on each of them furnishing 2 bonds of Rs 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Muzaffarpur in Ahiyapur Police Station Case No 237 of 2009 subject to all conditions as laid down in Section 438 (2) of Criminal Procedure Code.
