Hon’ble Arvind Kumar Mishra-I,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicants as well as learned A.G.A. for the State of U.P and perused the material available on record.
Urge made on behalf of the applicant has been confined to the extent that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. General and vague allegations have been made against the applicant. No specific role has been attributed to the applicant. He happens to be brother-in-law (devar) of the deceased and merely on account of his relationship with the husband of the deceased, he has been roped-in in this case. The applicant never raised any demand for dowry. There is no motive to commit the offence. Similarly circumstanced co-accused Km. Anjali and Km. Rachna, who are sisters-in-law of the deceased have already been admitted to bail by this Court vide order dated 19.08.2019 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.32883 of 2019. In case, the applicant is admitted to bail, there is no possibility of his absconding or misusing the liberty of bail. The applicant has no criminal history and is languishing in jail since 14.07.2019.
Learned A.G.A. has opposed prayer for bail.
Without entering into merit of the case but considering the facts and circumstances of the case, nature of accusation and the severity of punishment in case of conviction and the nature of supporting evidence, reasonable apprehension of tampering with witness or apprehension of threat to the complainant and prima facie satisfaction of the Court in support of the charge, the applicant is entitled to be released on bail. Accordingly, bail application is allowed.
