          alleging therein that they abused and assaulted the informant,

          causing injury to his head by means of lathi and danda.

                       4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the

          petitioners are innocent and have committed no offence. It is

          further submitted that the cause of dispute has already been

          mentioned in the F.I.R., namely that due to tying of a goat, a

          scuffle took place between two adjacent neighbours. For the

          same date and place of occurrence, there exists a case and

          counter-case between the parties. It is also submitted that

          injuries have been sustained by both sides and, from the injury

          report on record, it appears that most of the injuries are simple

          in nature, except the injury of Aslam Ansari, which has been

          found to be grievous. However, the petitioners undertake that

          such an incident shall not be repeated in future and they are

          ready to abide by any condition that may be imposed by this

          bail.

                       6. In the facts and circumstances of the case, let the

          above-named petitioners be released on bail, in the event of

          their arrest or surrender before the Trial Court within a period of

          four weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of ₹30,000/-

                      verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioners and in case at

                      any stage it is found that the petitioners have concealed their

                      criminal antecedent, the trial Court shall take step for

                      cancellation of bail bond of the petitioners. However, the

                      acceptance of bail bonds in terms of the above-mentioned order

                      shall not be delayed for purpose of or in the name of
