4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners are innocent and have committed no offence. Informant is not an eye witness of the occurrence and petitioners are simply victims of over-implication. He further submits that due to dispute between the couple, the deceased committed suicide. F.I.R. has been lodged after inordinate delay of two days which itself raises doubt over veracity of the prosecution case.

5. However, learned A.P.P. for the State vehemently opposed the bail application and submitted that petitioners are named in the F.I.R. and during course of investigation, witnesses have supported the prosecution case. Furthermore, as per report of the doctor, cause of death is 'Asphyxia due to Throttling'.

6. Considering the nature of accusation and gravity of the offence, prayer for bail of the petitioners is refused. (Prabhat Kumar Singh, J) Navya/- U T
