Cri.B.A.No.785/22OrderEx.1.
The ld. Advocate for the applicant submitted that the
report is lodged by the father of deceased without there being any
specifications.
General allegations are made.
There is no any
prima facie case as to instigation of abatement to commit suicide
by deceased on the part of applicant. Applicant is a lady 40 years
old.
She came to be arrested on 11.06.2022.
Now, the
investigation is near about completed and no need to languish
her behind the bar. Therefore, applicant be released on bail.
5.
Per contra, ld. APP resisted the application with the
contention that the offence committed by the applicant is very
much serious in nature.
Investigation is at premature stage.
Thorough investigation is required to be done.
Therefore, ld.
APP requested to reject the application.
6.
I have perused the application and papers of
investigation. It reveals from the report that the marriage of
deceased was solemnized in May 2017. It prima facie appears
that she has committed suicide by hanging herself at her
matrimonial house.
At that time, she was cohabiting with her
husband and inlaws.
There is mention that the informant
observed scratch marks on the hands and legs of the deadbody of
Ashwini.
There are specific allegations that the applicant and
other accused have consistently illtreated and harassed the
deceased for unlawful demand.
The deceased has committed

unnatural one.
Her death is
The IO has also submitted that investigation is
at premature stage.
He has to record statement of material
prosecution witnesses. Prima facie concern of the applicant with
the alleged serious offence is shown.
In such circumstances, if
the applicant would be released on bail at this stage, the
investigation would certainly get hampered.
Considering all
these aspects, this Court is of the view that the application filed
by the applicant being devoid of merit, deserves to be rejected.
Hence, the order.
