Petitioner has filed this petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.103 dated 08.12.2018 under Section 306 IPC, registered at Police Station Khamano, District Fatehgarh Sahib.
I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned State counsel and have gone through the record.
From the record, I find that the petitioner is the daughter-in-law of deceased. As per the allegations in the FIR, the petitioner married to son of the petitioner about 9 years ago and she used to quarrel on petty issues with Narain Kumar (deceased), due to which, he committed suicide by consuming some poisonous tablets.

The investigation in the case is complete. The challan has already been presented. The petitioner has been in custody since 06.01.2019.
Without commenting anything on the merits of case, in my opinion, no useful purpose will be served by detaining the petitioner during trial. The petition, as such, is accepted. Petitioner Ritu Rani is ordered to be released on bail on her furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of learned trial Court/Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, concerned.
