This Criminal petition coming on for Orders, this day,
the court made the following:

ORDER

This petition is filed under Section 438 of Cr.P.C.

Investigation is completed and charge sheet is laid for

the offences punishable under Sections 506, 498A, 306

read with Section 34 of IPC.

2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner

and the learned HCGP.

3. Learned HCGP has not filed any statement of

objections, but has orally opposed the petition.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner, at the

outset, submits that the petitioner was not named in the

FIR. No attempt was made to arrest him during the

investigation. It is only in the charge sheet, he has

been implicated as accused No.5. The allegations made

against the petitioner/accused No.5 are totally baseless.
3

Hence, he seeks an order of release under Section 438

of Cr.P.C.

5. Perused the charge sheet papers. The case of

the prosecution is that the accused Nos. 1, 2 and 5 did

not give any share of ancestral property to the deceased

instead insulted and abused him and being unable to

bear the humiliation, the deceased, Basavarajayya

committed suicide on 14.12.2016.

6. The circumstances reflected in the charge

sheet, reveal that at the earliest instance, no allegations

were made against the present petitioner. With regard

to the abetment, there is no clear evidence with regard

to the specific instance that amounted to an offence on

the part of the petitioner.

7. Taking into consideration all these facts and

circumstances, the petition deserves to be allowed.
4

8. Hence, the following;

ORDER

Criminal petition is allowed. The petitioner is

directed to appear before the trail Court within 15 days

from the date of this order and on his appearance, the

Investigating Officer shall interrogate the petitioner and
