                                2. The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case

                   registered under Sections 127(2), 326(g), 324(4), 351(2) and

                   3(5) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

                                3. As per prosecution case, it is alleged that 19 named

                   accused persons including the petitioners and 10 unknown

                   accused persons surrounded the house of the informant, while

                   he was sleeping, and set the house on fire.

                                4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that

                   petitioners are innocent and have falsely been implicated in the

                   present case due to village politics. Further submission is that no

                   specific overt act is alleged against the petitioners. Specific

                   allegation is made against co-accused Mohan Bhagat and Indal

                      undertake to cooperate in the investigation and trial. There is no

                      chance of tampering with the evidence or absconding of the

                      petitioners.

                                      5. Learned A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State

                      opposed the bail application.

                                      6. Having considered the facts and circumstances of

                      the case, submissions of learned counsel for the parties as well

                      as the fact that no specific overt act is alleged against the

                      petitioners, let the above named petitioners be released on bail,

                      in the event of arrest or surrender before the learned court below
