It has been further submitted by the petitioners' counsel that petitioners have been falsely implicated in the present case. Petitioners are the mother-in-law and father-in-law of the deceased, respectively. Husband of the deceased is already in custody. There is no specific allegation attributed to the petitioners, rather allegation is general and omnibus in nature. Petitioners are even separate in mess and property from the husband of the deceased.
