The learned Senior Counsel for the petitioners submits that two of the co- accused had been granted bail by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, FTC, Dibrugarh during the course of investigation. It is further submitted that the matter has since been charge-sheeted and the petitioners are willing to participate in the trial.
