Learned counsel for the petitioners further states that the buffalo of the informant had grazed the field of the petitioners, due to which a Panchayati was held and he was directed to pay Rs.1100/- to the petitioners, but instead of paying the said amount the instant case has been lodged only with a view to save himself from making such payment. Considering the facts and circumstances of this case as well as the arguments of the parties, this petition is allowed.
