Counsel for Applicant :- Karan Singh Yadav Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.
Hon'ble Rajesh Dayal Khare,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. for State.
It is contended by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is the mother-in-law of the deceased who has been falsely implicated in the present case on general allegations of demand of dowry. Learned counsel further contends that there was some matrimonial discord between the spouse on account of which the deceased had committed suicide and that there is nothing on record to connect the complicity of the applicant in commission of alleged offence. Learned counsel further contends that the applicant was living separately from the deceased and her husband and therefore, the implication of the application of the applicant is against the settled principle of law as laid down in the matter of Geeta Mehrotra and another Vs. State of Uttar Pradesh reported in 2012 (10) SCC 741.It is thus contended that the applicant has been falsely implicated due to ulterior motive. It is next argued that there is no likelihood of the conclusion of the trial in the near future and that the applicant is neither a previous convict nor she has any previous criminal history. There is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away from the judicial process or tampering with the witnesses and in case, the applicant is enlarged on bail, the applicant shall not misuse the liberty of bail. The applicant is in jail since 07.01.2018 Learned A.G.A. has opposed the bail prayer of the applicant.
Perused the first information report as well as averments contained in the bail application.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case as well as submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and also perusing the material on record, without expressing any opinion on merit of the case, let the applicant Ramdevi involved in Sessions Trial No. 58 of 2018 Case Crime No.515 of 2017, under Sections 498A, 304-B, 323 I.P.C., and Section 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, Police Station Moth, District Jhansi, be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two local sureties each of the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned, subject to the following conditions:
