They objected and raised their lathis at the Sub-Inspector to prevent him from entering the house The Sub-Inspector drew out his revolver upon which Pitam Lal and Chokhe Lal stood back and did not; oppose the Sub-Inspector.
2. The Sub-Inspector admittedly had no right to enter or attempt to search the house of Dori, as Dori's house was not within his Circle.

In case the fine has been paid it will be refunded to them or if they are in Jail they will be released at once.
