Sr-I Narasimhulu Parise, the learned COunSel for the Petitioners/accused Nos.1 to 8, submits that the Petitioners/accused Nos.1 to 8 had not committed ttse-=` tJ utJ
any offence and they were falsely implicated I-n thl'S Case. The petitioners are sole bread winners of their family and they were arrested on o1.05.2025.

Akila Naidu, the learned Assistant PublI'C Prosecutor, opposed in gr`anting of bail stating thatihe investigation is not completed,I if the Petitioners are enlarged on bail, they would not be available for the investigation and they would escape from the clutches of law; and urged to dismiss the bail petj{ion. 6. The allegation of the prosecution is that the petitioners/accused Nos.1 to 8, along with other accused, formed an unlawful assembly armed with deadly weapons and attacked L.Ws.1 to 3.
