The marriage of deceased with son of applicant-accused has taken place in the year 2019. The allegations of dowry demand and harassment of deceased, levelled against applicant-accused, are thoroughly false and baseless. No specific role has been assigned to the applicant-accused. The first information report was lodged against the entire family members of the applicant but four named co-accused persons have been exonerated during investigation. In postmortem report, except ligature mark, no other injury has been shown on the body of deceased and cause of death has been shown asphyxia due to ante-mortem hanging. Referring to the facts of the matter, it was submitted that there is no credible evidence against applicant-accused. Lastly, it has been submitted that applicant-accused is languishing in jail since 01.09.2022 having no criminal history and that in case the applicant-accused is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail and will cooperate in trial.

4. Learned A.G.A. and learned counsel for the informant have opposed the prayer for bail. The applicant-accused is named in the first information report. There are allegations that applicant-accused used to harass the deceased on account of dowry.

5. Considering the submissions of learned counsel for the parties, nature of allegations, period of custody and all attending facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the Court is of the view that a case for bail is made out. Hence, the bail application is hereby allowed.
