An incident which gardaí allege took place at Corban’s Lane in Naas involved four separate men.
Gardaí relayed the allegations to Judge Desmond Zaidan at Naas District Court on Thursday, November 16 last.
The accusations relate to: Maroud Rashid, 28, with an address listed as 4 The Row, Eustace Demesne in Naas; Muhammed Masikul, 28, with an address listed as Apartment 11, Carrig Court, Saggart, Dublin 24, County Dublin; Malik Hossain, 30, with an address listed as 25 Feltham Hall, Blackbog Road, County Carlow; and Joshim Uddin, 29, with an address listed as 17 Oldtown Rise in Naas.
The alleged incident took place on December 3 last, according to gardaí.
It was alleged that on the day at around 2pm, the men turned up to an address in Corban’s Lane.
According to gardaí, at least one of the men had a weapon, 'a pointed stick(s)', with him.
An altercation broke out, which resulted in one person being allegedly assaulted with the weapon (Mr Hossain is the defendant charged with this alleged offence).
The alleged injured party allegedly sustained a concussion as a result of the assault, but it was heard that they did not lose consciousness.
When Judge Zaidan asked Garda Sergeant David Hanrahan what the 'catalyst for the alleged incident' was, Sgt Hanrahan, who was reading off the charge sheet, told him that it ‘had something to do with a female, Judge.’
However, defending solicitor Tim Kennelly told the court that his clients 'deny this outright.'
"They don’t know where this allegation regarding it being over a woman is coming from," he added.
Instead, Mr Kennelly claimed that the cause of the incident arose from a tenancy dispute.
After consideration, Judge Zaidan said that he would refuse jurisdiction, citing the 'serious' nature of the allegations.
He adjourned the case to April 24, 2024, to allow time for a book of evidence to be presented as well as to allow time for the Director of Public Prosecutions to review his decision to refuse jurisdiction.
