Applicants have been arrested in connection with the offence punishable under sections 302, 396, 397, 201 read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code which is registered at Aajra Police Station vide C.R.

So far as the circumstantial evidence is concerned, the only circumstance and material which is on record is the recovery of number plate, tape record etc., at the instance of the present applicants. Such material, in my view, is not sufficient to 2 connect the applicants with commission of the said offence of murder. 3. Hence, applicants be released on bail in C.R.
