They were intercepted by two unknown persons and at the point of pistol, they snatched belongings of the informant and his friend Babu Lal Singh. One of the miscreants was apprehended by Babu Lal Singh, but on threatening given by two co-accused persons he rescued him. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted
