Learned Addl. P.P. appearing for the State vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submits that keeping in view of the serious allegation against the petitioners and the fact that they have been identified by the victim; there is every chance of the petitioner absconding, if released on bail and also there is chance of the petitioners tampering with the evidence. It is therefore submitted that the petitioners ought not be released on bail at this stage.
