The petitioners stand charged with the murder of Khadim Hussain deceased on the night of 4/5-7-1983.
2. The petitioners are alleged to have dealt hatchet blows to the deceased.
3. Bail is urged on the ground that it was a night occurrence and thus identification was not possible, further that no intelligible motive is attributed to the petitioners and lastly that no recovery has been effected.
4. Learned counsel for the State and the complainant submit that both the petitioners are named in the F.I.R. which was promptly lodged and the occurrence was witnessed by four persons including widow of the deceased.
