          variously armed with lethal weapons arrived at the door of the

          them, the petitioner no. 1, Amit Kumar Yadav, inflicted knife

          blows upon him, causing severe injuries to his abdomen.

          Thereafter, he was taken to the Sadar Hospital for treatment.

                       5. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the

          petitioners are innocent and have been falsely implicated in the

          present case. It has further been submitted that the alleged

                       6. Learned A.P.P. for the State and learned counsel for

          the informant have vehemently opposed the prayer for

          anticipatory bail of the petitioners. Learned counsel for the

          informant further submits that there are serious allegations

          against the petitioner no. 1, who was allegedly armed with a

          knife and assaulted the nephew of the informant multiple times.

          It is further submitted that although the injuries sustained by the

          nephew of the informant were found to be simple in nature,

          there was a clear intention on the part of the petitioners to kill

          him, however, he was fortunately saved.

          arrest/surrender within a period of six weeks from today, be
