Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.

The FIR of the alleged incident has been lodged against 8 persons including the applicant making general allegation. No specific role has been assigned to him. There was no dispute of demand of dowry. The applicant has not harassed or tortured to the deceased. It has further been submitted that the applicant has no concern with day to day life of his son. Neither the applicant has interference in the life of his son (husband of the deceased) nor he was present at the time of alleged incident. In postmortem report the cause of death has been shown asphyxia due to ante mortem hanging. The deceased has committed suicide herself. The applicant has no concern with the alleged incident. The case of the applicant is distinguishable from the case of husband of the deceased. It has further been submitted that co-accused Savitri Devi, mother-in- law, Smt. Vineeta, unmarried Nanad, Km.

Manju, Nanad, Ravi, Nandoi and Govind Singh Kushwaha, Nandoi of the deceased have already been released on bail by this court vide orders dated 17.12.2019, 12.12.2019, 12.12.2019, 9.12.2019, 9.12.2019 and 6.12.2019 respectively, therefore, the applicant is also entitled for bail. The applicant has no criminal history and is in jail since 29.5.2019.
