IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH
RAJNI – Appellant
Versus
STATE OF HARYANA – Respondent



Prayer in the present petition filed under Section 483 BNSS is for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.295 dated 29.07.2025, registered at Police Station Sector 8, Faridabad, under Sections 103(1), 3(5) BNS (challan presented under Section 108 BNS)

(erstwhile 306 IPC).

2. Learned Senior Counsel contends that the petitioner has been in custody for 4 months. She alleges false implication. She was not named in the FIR and came to be implicated based on her own disclosure statement made before the police, having been arrested which is inadmissible in evidence. There is no allegation levelled which would have made her case fall within the definition of abetment as defined under Section 45 BNS, so as to constitute the offence under Section 108 BNS. Challan has been presented on 02.12.2025, however, charges are yet to be framed and there are, in all, 23 PWs. She has three children: two sons and one daughter, and is not involved in any other case.

3. The custody certificate dated 05.02.2026, filed by the learned State counsel is taken on record. As per the same, the petitioner is behind bars for 4 months.

4. Learned State counsel assisted by learned counsel for the complainant opposes the bail on the ground that there are specific allegations levelled against the petitioner by the deceased naming her to be responsible for he having committed suicide. However, he is unable to controvert the submissions with regard to stage of the case and the petitioner being not involved in any other case.

5. Heard.

6.
