Second bail applications by two accused in a murder FIR. The court noted both eyewitnesses turned hostile, no DNA profile of the deceased was detected on the accused's clothes or the seized rope, and charges framed against one petitioner were only for Sections 201 and 120-B IPC. Bail applications allowed subject to conditions.
