Before an Executive Magistrate, Krishna Mandal has confessed his guilt. He has explained how he has killed his wife by burning her alive. 6. The aforesaid incident of burning of Durga Mandal took place near the house of the petitioners. 7. Mr. Borthakur has pointed out that the occurrence took place near the house of the petitioners and they cannot claim that they had no knowledge of the aforesaid incident. According to Mr. Borthakur the silence of the petitioner is culpable in nature. 8. I have considered the submissions made by the learned counsel of both sides. 9.
