1. The brief facts of this case were that on 17.1.2002 at about 8 p.m., the informant Ram Raj, his brother Bhairo Prasad, and nephews Suraj Pal and Ram Kripal were going to the west of the village for loading onions on a D.C.M. vehicle. As soon as they reached near a pond at the side of the road, the applicants who were lying in wait with country made pistols surrounded them. The accused Pintoo cried out that Suraj Pal should not be allowed to escape and he fired on Suraj Pal with his country made pistol which hit Suraj on his stomach causing him to fall down. Then the brother-in-law (sala) of Pintoo, namely the applicant Indal also fired on him with his country made pistol, but this fire missed. When the witnesses tried to intervene, the accused Ajay threatened them that if anyone intervened in the matter, they would meet the same fate as Suraj Pal. T
