4. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is a person of clean antecedent and has falsely been implicated in this case. There is no overt act against him and the allegation is not attributed to him. As a matter of fact, the deceased had love affairs with the petitioner which was not liked by her parents and that was the reason, she committed suicide.

5. On the other hand, the learned APP for the State assisted by the learned counsel for the informant has opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that statements of the witnesses recorded in paragraph 3, 4 and 5 of the case diary have fully supported the prosecution case. At paragraph no. 10 of the case diary, which is suicide note of the deceased, it has been stated that the petitioner used to torture her mentally and physically. The deceased was used to be assaulted at the hands of the petitioner and due to those acts of the petitioner, being depressed, the deceased committed suicide.

6. Considering the above-mentioned facts and circumstances, I do not think it to be a fit case for anticipatory bail, which is hereby rejected.
