(3.) It has been stated by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the husband and some of the accused had already been put to trial and while the husband was convicted and the other accused persons were acquitted from the charge levelled against them. Learned counsel submits that the informant had filed a separate application before this Court challenging the order of acquittal passed against the other accused persons barring the husband and also for enhancement of the sentence awarded to the husband. Learned counsel further submits that the husband of the deceased was imposed sentence under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code to rigorous imprisonment for life and so far as the other applications preferred by the informant is concerned, the same was dismissed by this Court. Learned counsel submits that the petitioners are the distant relatives of the deceased and since some of the accused persons similarly situated have already been acquitted by the learned trial court which has been affirmed up to this Court the same treatment should be meted out to the petitioners.;
