¶18

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners are innocent and have been falsely implicated in this case. From the F.I.R. it is apparent that there was no demand of dowry and whatsoever his allegation, there was no earlier complaint by the informant or the deceased against the petitioners and others. There is a four years old daughter and a one year old son of the deceased out of the wedlock. Learned counsel further submits that the children are in jail with the petitioners. The daughter of the informant committed suicide as the daughter of the informant wanted to live with her husband but due to his poor income, her husband could not take her along. The post mortem report of the deceased shows she committed suicide by hanging. The petitioners have been named in this case because of the fact that they are parents-in-law of the deceased. No occurrence as alleged has ever taken place. The daughter of the informant committed suicide by hanging herself with a rope and as such this is a case of suicide and not a case of dowry death. The petitioners are in custody since 30.08.2021. Charge sheet has been submitted against the petitioners. Similarly, placed co-accused persons have been granted bail by a Coordinate Bench vide order dated 04.07.2022

passed in Cr. Misc. No. 57669 of 2021.

¶21

Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioners submitting that the allegation of causing death of the daughter of the informant is also against the petitioners along with his son.

¶22

Having regard to the facts and circumstances and submission made on behalf of the parties and considering the fact that the petitioners are stated to be the parents-in-law of the deceased daughter of the informant and the allegations are mostly vague and general against the petitioners and other coaccused persons and also considering the submission of charge sheet along with period of custody of the petitioners, the petitioners above named are directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (twenty thousand)each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Nawada in connection with Rajauli P.S. Case No. 139 of 2021, subject to the conditions mentioned in Section 437(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure and also the following conditions:
