          and jewellery and set the house on fire.

                       4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the

          petitioners are innocent and have committed no offence and

          but it is the police who have registered the FIR with delay of

          three days. Moreover, the petitioners are member of mob.

                       6. Considering that the petitioners being wives of co-

          accused persons against whom there is allegation of assault and
