dead body of the wife of Applicant No. 1 was found in the tank which was constructed in their residential house. The Applicant No. 2 happens to be the sister of Applicant No. 1. The Applicant No. 3 happens to be the husband of Applicant No. 2. The Applicant No. 4 is the cousin of Applicant No. 1 and the Applicant No. 5 happens to be the wife of Applicant No. 4. According to the learned counsel for the Applicants, the Applicant No. 1 and his deceased wife were residing separately with their son and that the Applicant Nos. 2 to 5 were not residing in a joint family with the Applicant No. 1. According to the learned counsel for the Applicants, it is a case of accidental death, as the dupatta had got entangled while she was filling water and that had caused her death. Upon perusal of papers of investigation, the said submission appears to be unfounded. However, the very fact that the Applicant Nos. 2 to 5 were not residing in the same house, they deserve pre-arrest bail. The Applicant No. 1 seeks time to surrender before the concerned Magistrate. Time as prayed for is granted. The Applicant No.1 shall appear before the Magistrate on or before 09.07.2018. Learned Magistrate shall consider the Application on its own merits. In view of this, the Applicant No. 1 stands protected till 5.00 p. m. of 09.07.2018.
