Learned counsel for the applicants would submit that the applicants have been falsely implicated in this case and they have not committed any offence and no weapon or stones, which were used in the offence in question, has been seized from the possession of the applicants. He further submits that the applicants are in jail since 23.11.2015 and the charge sheet has already been filed.
