¶18

Bijender, Police Station Sadar Sonepat, verifies that the cause of death in this case is due to phosphorus sulphate poisoning. No injuries were detected on the person of the deceased as per the post-mortem report. It is verified that the material witnesses including the complainant and the Investigating Officer have been examined. Ten prosecution witnesses are yet to be examined. The petitioner is not reported to be involved in any other criminal case. There are no allegations that petitioner is likely to abscond or that she is likely to dissuade the witnesses from deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail. No useful purpose shall be served by keeping the petitioner incarcerated any longer.

¶19

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances noted above but without expressing any opinion on the merits of case, it is considered just and expedient to allow this petition.

¶20
