In the F.I.R. vide Annexure-1, the informant has alleged that for grabbing the family properties the petitioners and other accused persons have made her husband traceless and finally after assaulting her the informant was driven away from her matrimonial home. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that petitioner no.3 is the mother of alleged victim and other petitioners are also the close relation. However, he has fairly conceded that till date alleged victim Sandeep Barnwal has not been recovered and is still traceless. In the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the 2 case, this Court is not persuaded to accede to the prayer made on behalf of the petitioners for grant of anticipatory bail.
