learned counsel for the petitioners, nature of allegations against

them, material contained in the case diary especially, the injury

reports of S/Shri Anil Kumar & Sanjay Kumar and their statements

recorded under Section 161 CrPC wherein, the injured Sanjay

Kumar has levelled specific allegation against co-accused Sunil

Kumar of inflicting stab wounds which have been found to be

dangerous to life, their length of custody, absence of criminal

antecedents and the fact that the trial of the case may take time;

but, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this
