2. The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for the offences punishable under Section 108/61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

4. At the very outset, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that a bare perusal of the FIR would disclose the fact that

It is further submitted that the petitioner totally has no connection with the entire matter and she has only been made an accused since her daughter is a friend of the deceased and they both had gone to Goa a few days prior to the occurrence. It is next submitted that petitioner has no criminal antecedent and she has been languishing in custody since 22.01.2025.

5. Learned APP for the State, however, opposes the grant of bail to the petitioner.
