The appellants, Aditya @ Atul and Dixit Rana, have been in prison since 01.09.2025. We are informed that the investigation has been completed and the chargesheet has also been filed, but charges are yet to be framed.

14 listed witnesses are to be examined in terms of the chargesheet. There is, therefore, no possibility of the trial concluding any time soon in the near future. We find that the appellants have past criminal antecedents and the allegations against them in the present case are of serious nature. However, we find no grounds to continue with the incarceration
