produced on record. Charge under Atrocities Act came to be added on
the basis of supplementary statement which came to be recorded after
nine days. Thus, prima facie involvement of the applicants in alleged
offence is found to be dubious one. Prima facie, it appears that the
dispute between the parties is in respect of the landed property. On
these amongst grounds, interim bail was granted to the applicants on
13.06.2022. Now, say is filed by the IO and the formal objections are
