Hon’ble Bachchoo Lal,J.

Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A and perused the record.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is mother-in-law of the deceased. The applicant has falsely been implicated in the present case. There was no dispute of demand of dowry. The applicant has not harassed or tortured the deceased and has not compelled the deceased to commit suicide. In postmortem report the cause of death of the deceased has been shown shock due to antemortem burn injury. The deceased has committed suicide herself. There is no direct evidence against the applicant. The applicant has no concern with the alleged incident. The case of the applicant is distinguishable from the case of the husband of the deceased. There is no criminal history of the applicant and is in jail since 20.8.2019.

Per contra, learned A.G.A opposed the prayer for bail.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it a fit case for bail.

Let the applicant Smt. Vimla Devi involved in Case Crime No. 155 of 2019, under Sections 498A, 304B, SectionIPC and 3/4 D.P. Act, P.S.
