4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that they are agnates of the deceased and have been falsely implicated due to land dispute. It was submitted that the informant herself used to live at her paternal home with the children and soon after the incident, land has been transferred in her favour by the fatherin-law. It was further submitted that there were no eye witnesses.
5. Learned APP, from the case diary, submitted that many witnesses have supported the prosecution story and it has come that they did not allow the deceased to deal with his lands as earlier when he had sold some land for the marriage of his daughter, they had expressed their anger. It was submitted that the petitioners had an eye on the land on the deceased as the father-inlaw of the informant was living in Bokaro and his younger son had gone missing and now the husband of the informant also having died, the petitioners would be able to succeed in their intention. It was submitted that deliberately the matter is being given a different colour by insinuating that it was the informant who was responsible for the murder. It was submitted that the land having been transferred after the death was with the purpose of ensuring that the same was not forcibly taken by the petitioners and others. It was further submitted that the informant was living with her

7. Accordingly, the application stands dismissed. (Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J) Anjani/- AFR/NAFR U T
