Bhatapara (Gramin), however, the complainant with a mala fide intention has lodged the present applicants with a mala fide intention and without any basis.

Considering the nature and gravity of the offence and material on record in the case diary, and the facts and circumstances of the case and the submission of the counsel for the parties particularly, the State Counsel that the injury sustained by the injured persons are grievous in nature, therefore, I am not inclined to grant bail to the applicants. 7.
