Learned counsel for the applicants would submit that the applicants have been falsely implicated in this case due to previous animosity. He would further submit that though the incident has happened on 28.09.2015 but the report was made on 30.09.2015 after two days of the incident and the statement of the victim has already recorded and further no evidence is necessary. He would further submit that the applicants are in jail since 31.10.2015, therefore, he prays that the applicants may be enlarged on bail.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application.
