In the present applications, similar prayer is made however, considering the fact that inspite of reduction of amount to furnish surety, in respect of one of the co-accused by order of this Court dated 15.03.2019, since no surety is admittedly furnished. No case is made out for reduction of surety amount as even otherwise order by which applicants are protected from their arrest is passed by this Court on 01.09.2016, and applicants have failed to furnish bail.

The application Nos.1478 of 2018 and 1592 of 2019 are, therefore, dismissed.
