¶8

The instant bail application has been filed seeking release of the applicant on bail in Case Crime No. 17 of 2026, under Sections 85, 80(2) BNS and Section 3/4 D.P. Act, Police Station Bhaluani, District Deoria during pendency of the trial.

¶9

Learned counsel for the applicant submits, applicant is father-in-law of the deceased and on the basis of false allegation he has been made accused in the present matter. He further submits, actually marriage of the deceased was solemnized with the son of applicant but after marriage she did not perform her matrimonial duties, therefore, very often dispute arose between husband and wife and when query was made by the husband then she informed that she did not want to marry with him but under pressure of her family members she had to solemnize her marriage with him.

¶10

He further submits, however, applicant along with other family members tried to manage the matrimonial issue arose between husband and wife but she could not change her attitude and ultimately within eight months of her marriage she committed suicide by hanging and after her death only being father-in-law, applicant has also been made accused in the present matter along with others including husband of the deceased.

¶11

¶14

due to hanging and apart from the ligature mark deceased did not sustain any injury and her Hyoid bone, Larynx and Trachea were found intact, therefore, prima facie post mortem report suggests that it is a case of suicidal death.

¶15

He further submits, there is no specific allegation against applicant and he is not having any criminal history and in the present matter he is in jail since 02.02.2026.

¶16

Per contra, learned AGA as well as learned counsel for informant opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the argument on facts advanced by learned counsel for the applicant.

¶17

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record of the case.

¶18

Considering the argument advanced by learned counsel for the applicant and the fact that applicant is father-in-law of the deceased and there is no specific allegation against him and considering the post mortem report of the deceased prima facie it appears to be a case of suicidal death and applicant is not having any criminal history and in the present matter he is in jail since 02.02.2026, in my view, applicant is entitled to be released on bail.

¶19
