With the aid of these judgments, it is argued that the intervenor,
being father of the person who died in the bomb blast, has locus
to participate in the proceeding. The learned senior counsel
further argued that it is settled law that material collected by the
investigating agency in respect of accusations leveled against
accused persons must prevail until contradicted and overcome or
disapproved by other evidence and by virtue of such provision in
Section 41D of the U.A.(P) Act, appellants herein are not entitled
to be released on bail. Similarly, it is also urged that confessional
statement of appellants/accused persons resulted in discovery of
fact and this evidence constitute reasonable ground for believing
that allegations against appellants/accused persons are prima
facie true.
