the reason behind the said occurrence is obvious for the simple reason that the deceased was a lady of questionable character and prior to the present occurrence, Sikraul P.S. Case No. 25 of 2023, has been registered for the offences punishable under Section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code wherein the deceased was made accused for the charge of committing murder of her own husband with the aid of her lover. There is every possibility that the murder of deceased may caused by her paramour or other person. It is next contended that during the course of investigation, it has come that the house in which the deceased used to live, there was already a toilet and, as such, the story of going to attend nature’s call does not appear to be trustworthy. Moreover, the daughters of the deceased being eyewitness do not inspire confidence and the name of the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on account of a property dispute. The petitioner bears fair antecedent and languishing in custody since 25.04.2024.
