3. As per prosecution case, the petitioners and other
co-accused persons entered into the house of the informant and

intervened, he was assaulted by the assailants making him
unconscious. The husband of the informant was taken to the
hospital for treatment and during treatment, he died after 10
days.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that
petitioners are innocent and have been falsely implicated in this
case. Altogether 13 persons have been made accused in this case
with general and omnibus allegation. The occurrence took place
on 16.06.2021 and the husband of the informant died on
26.06.2021. The statement of the husband of the informant was
not recorded though he remained in hospital for ten days and
was quite conscious. The husband of the informant died due to
some illness as he was being treated in the private hospital, but
the injury report from the private hospital has not been brought
on record. There was old dispute between the parties and during
investigation, the witnesses stated that for settlement of old
dispute, both the parties had assembled and some scuffle took
place. The learned counsel further submits that a number of co-
