It is submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the petitioner that
the petitioner is husband of the victim and is totally innocent and in no way
connected with the offence alleged against him. He further submits that other
accused persons have already been granted anticipatory bail by the Learned
Sessions Judge and this petitioner is in custody for 73 days and further
detention of the petitioner is not required.
The learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail.
We have considered the submission of the learned advocate appearing for
the respective parties and have perused the case diary including the statements
recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C. and the reported suicide note.
Having considered the submission of the learned advocate appearing for
the respective parties and the material in the case diary including the suicide
note and the period of detention, we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.
