The contention of learned counsel for the petitioners is that petitioners are innocent of the said allegations and they are no way connected with the alleged offences. The investigation is almost completed. Petitioners are in jail from 10.12.2025. The parents of the petitioners are old aged and they are dependents on them. Petitioners would abide any conditions that may be imposed by this Court and prayed this Court to grant bail to the petitioners.

On the other hand, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor opposed bail stating that the allegation against the petitioners is serious in nature. A.1 beat with cot wood and A.2 beat with a stone on the injured head as a result he died. When Lw.3, 4, 8 and 9 tried to rescue the deceased, all the accused beat them also. Investigation is also still pending. The post mortem examination report of the deceased and the medical certificates of the petitioners are yet to be received. The petitioners in this case also suffered injuries in the said incident. Hence, petitioners are not entitled for bail and prayed to dismiss this petition.
