Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the accused- applicant is innocent; she has been falsely implicated in this very case crime number and is languishing in jail since 30.11.2020; she is of no criminal antecedent and there is no likelihood of fleeing from course of justice or tempering with evidence in case of release on bail; she is mother-in-law and a general allegation of demand of dowry is there; husband is languishing in jail; death is owing to antemortem hanging; there is no other antemortem injury over the person of deceased; marriage was two years old; applicant being mother-in-law is of no concern with affairs of deceased or her husband. Hence, bail has been prayed for.
