SANJEEV SACHDEVA, J. (ORAL)
1. Petitioner seeks regular bail in FIR No.72/2018 under Section
498A/304B of the IPC, P.S. Munirka.
2. The allegations in the FIR against the petitioner who is the husband
of the deceased is that he used to harass the deceased. The case of the
prosecution is inter alia based on an alleged suicide note allegedly
recovered from the house of the deceased.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the suicide note as
well as the recovery of the suicide note is suspect, as the original suicide
note is not available and was not found by the crime team, which had
searched the house. The suicide note is alleged to have been found by the

days after the incident. She is alleged to have found the suicide note in the
same one roomed house.
4. Forensic science laboratory has given an opinion based on the
photocopy of the suicide note, which was produced. IO who is present in

25,000/- with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial
