                   Malmaliya, he saw that some persons are assaulting a bus driver

                   and a conductor. When he reached near the place of occurrence

          and five-six unknown persons started abusing the informant and

          threw him on the ground with an intention to kill him and

          pressed his neck with a gamcha. They also assaulted the police

          constable, who had gone with the informant with fists and leg.

                          4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits

          that the petitioner is innocent and has not committed any

          offence. An altercation took place between the driver, conductor

          and the villagers. In the meantime, the police arrived and tried

          to pacify the matter, however dispute arose in between the

          parties. He further submits that similarly situated co-accused

          namely Shailendra Singh @ Shailendra Kumar Singh, Bhim
