Hon'ble Rahul Chaturvedi,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicants, learned AGA and perused the record.
By means of this application, the applicants who are involved in case crime no. 693 of 2017, under Sections 498A, 304-B IPC, 323 IPC and 3/4 D. P. Act, P.S.
Kosikalan, District- Mathura, is seeking enlargement on bail during the trial.
It is submitted by the learned counsel for the applicants that two of the accused Hari Singh (father-in-law) and Smt. Asha (Jethani) were enlarged on bail by this court and learned AGA could not draw any point of distinction with present application from the reasoning adopted in the bail order of Hari Singh. It is further submitted that for accepting the reasons adopted in Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nos. 26116 of 2018 (Hari Singh Vs. State of U.P.) and 35764 of 2018 (Smt. Asha Vs. State of U.P.) vide orders dated 27.07.2018 and 20.9.2018 respectively, the applicant is also entitled for bail on parity. The applicant is in jail since 16.8.2018.
Learned AGA opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts and the legal submissions as argued by the learned counsel for the applicants.
Keeping in view the nature of the offence, evidence, complicity of the accused, submissions of the learned counsel for the parties and without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, I am of the view that the applicants have made out a fit case for bail.

Chandrawati, be released on bail in the aforesaid case crime number on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions which are being imposed in the interest of justice:-
