Three persons, namely, Om Prakash, Saifulla and Smt. Rukhsana sustained gun shot injuries. It is alleged in the FIR that Mr. Atiq Ahmad, the then Member of Parliament, belonging to the Samajwadi Party, managed the murder of the complainant's husband with the help of 7-8 persons including his brother Ashraf, who had contested an election against the complainant's husband. The police investigated the matter and submitted charge sheet against Atiq Ahmad, his brother Ashraf and other persons, against whom the trial continued and as many as fourteen witnesses were examined but none of them supported the prosecution story. In the meantime Bahujan Samajwadi Party came in power in the State, consequently a further investigation, was directed to be held by CB CID, and the CB CID, after investigation submitted a supplementary charge sheet against the applicants and other accused.  
4. The learned counsel for the applicants submitted that all the accused persons mentioned in the first charge sheet, and also the co-accused Nafees Ahmad @ Nafees Kalia mentioned in the supplementary charge sheet, have already been enlarged on bail, therefore, both the applicants are entitled to bail on the ground of parity. The learned counsel further submitted that the supplementary charge sheet is nothing except a concocted version at the behest of the ruling party. It was further submitted that none of the witnesses examined during the trial against the accused mentioned in the first charge sheet, has supported the prosecution story, therefore, it is a case of no evidence. It was further submitted that the deceased Raju Pal had a criminal history of 27cases (Annexure X), therefore, a possibility of his killing by some other person can not be ruled out.
