Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits that there is general and omnibus allegation against the petitioners and in course of investigation, the witnesses have not supported the allegation made against the petitioners. Petitioners have been implicated in the present case just because they are one of the agnates of the informant. There is direct allegation against one Shambhu Gond who had assaulted the victim with Labda and the victim succumbed to the injury. Petitioners have no criminal antecedent and they are in custody since 09.02.2021.

Learned A.P.P., for the State has opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioners.

The petitioners, above named, are directed to be enlarged on bail upon furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two
