2. It has been contended by learned counsel for petitioners-accused that they have been continuing in custody since 10.11.2012.
It is further contended that there is only one injured and that as per medical evidence, five injuries were found on his person however, eight persons have been implicated in this case.
It is further submitted that medical officer has not opined any injury to be dangerous to life and only injury no.1 was declared as grievous.
It is further submitted that though investigation completed and challan filed and however, no witness has been examined so far and hence, trial is not likely to be concluded in near future.
