3.
Learned counsel for the applicants submits that it is admittedly the prosecution's case that the tin shed was set on fire by an unknown person. According to him, during the course of investigation, nothing is brought on record to keep present applicants with the crime. He therefore, seeks confirmation of the interim relief. 4.
Learned APP oppose the application. She drew attention of the Court to the statement of Shaikh Wasim who stated about the previous incident in which the applicants had threatened the informant. 5.
Prima facie perusal of the record shows that there is no material to connect the present applicants to the crime in question. The statements of the witnesses pointed out by the learned APP only raise a suspicion. Suffice it to say that, in the absence of any concrete evidence connecting the applicants to the crime, there is no ground to reject the application. Applicants have no criminal history. They are not likely to flee from justice. This Court finds it appropriate to allow the application. 6.
Hence, applications stand allowed. Interim relief stands confirmed.
