Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioner no. 1 is father-in-law and petitioner no. 2 is brother- in-law of the deceased (son of informant). Informant is not eye- witness to the incident and he has raised only suspicion against these petitioners and save & except suspicion, there is no other material to show complicity of petitioners in the alleged crime.
