nearest offence that is disclosed in the final report is one under

Section 506(2), but it terms out of the definition of the offence. He

here is a case where the statement attributed to the first petitioner

is that she would tell somebody to kill the defacto complainant.

learned Government Advocate for the respondent.

5.This Court perused the entire materials and satisfied with

the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner. The

no other material to indicate that the petitioners are involved in the

crime. Even the statement of P.W.1 to the extend it has disclosed

would not be considered as falling within the definition.

there is no merit in the proceedings in C.C.No.262 of 2015 on the
