are of theft. It is alleged that they stole certain gold ornaments and cash of Rs.2,70,000/- from the house of the first informant. 4.

I have heard the learned counsel for the applicants and the learned APP for the respondent-State.

The learned counsel for the applicants submits that against the wishes of the first informant, the applicant No.1 has solemnised the marriage with the applicant No.2. It is submitted that thus false allegations are made against them. It is submitted that the applicants are ready and willing to co-operate in the investigation.

On the other hand, the learned APP for the respondentState submits that considering the nature of crime, the applicants may not be released on anticipatory bail.
