In post-mortem report, no injury has been found on the person of the deceased and that cause of death has been shown asphyxia as a result of ante mortem hanging. It was submitted that there is no evidence that deceased was subjected cruelty on account of dowry or any demand of dowry was made. In FIR, parents of applicant were also named but during investigation, their involvement has not been found and thus, they were not charge sheeted. Regarding criminal history of the applicant, it was stated that out of five cases, in two cases under Section 3/7 of Essential Commodities Act and one case under Section 420, 467, 468, 471 of IPC applicant is on bail, in one case under Section 354A, 354B, 342, 506 of IPC final report has been submitted and one case has been quashed by the High Court. It was submitted that applicant is languishing in jail since 20.04.2018 having no criminal history and that in case he is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail and will cooperate in trial.

Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for bail and argued that deceased has suffered unnatural death within seven years of her marriage at her matrimonial home and that there are allegations against applicant that he used to harass the deceased on account of dowry.

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 opinion that it is a fit case for bail. Hence, the bail application is hereby allowed.
