The alleged offences are under Sections 143, 147, 148, 149, 324 and 302 of IPC. According to prosecution, petitioners, along with two others, formed into an unlawful assembly, with a common object of murdering one Santhosh and assaulted him, using deadly weapons and inflicted injuries, consequent to which, he died on the same day. 3. Petitioners were arrested on 12.7.2008. They are in custody for the past more than 47 days. Learned public prosecutor submitted that the petitioners belong to a gunda gang and in case, they are released on bail, they will intimidate the witnesses and also abscond and hence, this petition is opposed. 4. On hearing both sides, I do not find that it is fit to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage of investigation. The petition is dismissed. K.HEMA, JUDGE csl
