MR PRATIK B BAROT, ADVOCATE for the Applicant(s) No. 1
MR MITESH AMIN PUBLIC PROSECUTOR for the Respondent(s) No. 1

CORAM: HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE S.H.VORA

ORAL ORDER

1. Heard Mr. Barot, learned advocate, for the applicant and
learned PP, for the respondent-State.

2. This application is filed under Section 439 of the Code of
Criminal Procedure for regular bail in connection with F.I.R.
registered at C.R. No. I – 163/2017 with Gondal Taluka Police
Station for the offences punishable under Sections 306, 498A
and 114 of the IPC.

2.1 The gist of the case is that the accused persons including
the present applicant used to taunt the deceased after one
year of marriage and due to this the daughter of the
complainant committed suicide by hanging her self.

therefore, there is no possibility or likelihood of fleeing from
justice and escaping from trial. The analysis and scrutiny of
police papers, as it is, does not disclose with unqualified
clarity to come to conclusive finding at threshold the
applicant’s unassailable finding of culpability under section
306 of the IPC. The materials on record do not indicate,
prima facie, any act of cruelty or harassment, mental or
physical, so as to persistently/continuously provoke the
deceased to take extreme step with no other option. No such
persistent or consistent applicant’s conduct, which requires
culpability, is found in the police papers, more particularly,
from the statement of the near and dear to the deceased. No
doubt, the deceased died due to unnatural death and she was
not happy. To attract section 306, there has to be clear mens
rea to commit an offence and active and direct role leading
the deceased to commit suicide. The averments made in the
FIR are very general in its nature allegedly involved entire
family and attributes same and identical role to all the
persons charged. Additionally, the alleged offence do not
provide punishment either life imprisonment or death penalty
and therefore, there is no likelihood or possibility to jump the
bail or escape the trial out of fear of conviction and therefore,
present Criminal Misc. Application deserves consideration.

4. Hence, the application is allowed and the applicant is
ordered to be released on bail in connection with C.R. No. I –
163/2017 with Gondal Taluka Police Station, on executing
a bond of Rs.10,000/-(Rupees Ten Thousand only) with
one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial
Court and subject to the conditions that the applicant shall;
