(2.) THE petitioners are accused in a case registered under Sections 364A/395 of the I.P.C. and Section 27 of the Arms Act, pending in the court of Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Palamau.
(3.) MR. Tripathy has further submitted that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case as because the petitioner no.1 namely Akhilesh Prasad earlier had taken a loan of Rs.50,000/- from the informant and only in order to get the sum, the present case has been lodged against the petitioners. It is further contended that the informant has not disclosed the name of the petitioners to Bachhu Oraon. It is also contended that though it is alleged that the petitioners was asked to give a sum of Rs.5,00,000/- and for this he has made call to his family members but no phone number is mentioned in the F.I.R. nor in the case diary which casts doubt on the prosecution case regarding the demand of the alleged ransom. It is also submitted that the petitioners and the informant are residing adjacent to each other and there is a dispute regarding the aforesaid loan amount between them.
