Counsel for Applicant :- Raj Bahadur Verma Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.
Hon'ble Ajay Bhanot,J.
By means of this bail application, the applicant has prayed to be enlarged on bail in Case Crime No. 297 of 2020 at Police Station Thathiya District Kannauj under Sections 306, 504, 506 I.P.C. The applicant is in jail since 28.02.2022.
The bail application of the applicant was rejected by learned Sessions Judge, Kannauj on 10.03.2022.
Shri Raj Bahadur Verma, learned counsel for the applicant contends that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the instant case. The deceased was taunted by his family members for the disability he was suffering from. The deceased was a sensitive person, who committed suicide by hanging himself when he could no longer bear the humiliation. The postmortem report opines that the cause of death as asphyxia due to antemortem hanging. No abnormality was detected in the hyoid bone. The postmortem report references ligature marks as the antemortem injuries which are consistent with the hanging. The applicant did not aid or abet the suicide. Prosecution evidence does not
connect the applicant with the offence. Learned counsel for the applicant contends that the applicant does not have any criminal history apart from the instant case.
Learned AGA for the State could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions.
I see merit in the submissions of learned counsel for the applicant and accordingly hold that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail.
In the light of the preceding discussion and without making any observations on the merits of the case, the bail application is allowed.
