It is further contended that the applicant is ready and willing to abide by all the conditions that may be imposed by this Court if released on

Per contra, learned APP has opposed the present application for grant of regular bail contending that the investigating agency has recorded the statements of witnesses who categorically stated that on the fateful day, a quarrel took place between the present applicant and the deceased and because of the said quarrel the deceased had committed suicide. Learned APP has therefore submitted that looking to the nature of offence, this Court may not exercise the discretion in favour of the applicant and the Application may

be dismissed.

not supported the case of prosecution is concerned, that is the issue to be considered at the stage of appreciation of evidence

by the learned Trial Court.

The material available on record indicates that on the day of incident, a quarrel took place between the applicant and the deceased regarding bringing dowry from the place of the deceased and thereafter the deceased committed suicide on the very same night. Having regard to these aspects,

no case is made out. The application stands dismissed.
