Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that on 24.12.2016 one Amita Ravi committed suicide by jumping into the Well. The deceased was married to one Sanjay Ravi. It is the case of the prosecution that the applicant- Vijay Shankar Ravi, who is brother-in-law of the deceased along with other co-accused including the applicant - Smt. Gujri Bai, who is the mother-in-law of the deceased has tortured and abetted the deceased to commit suicide. Thereby the offence has been committed. 3.
Learned counsel for the applicants would submit that the applicants have been falsely implicated in this case and no abetment has been caused as the deceased was not able to adjust herself and she herself has taken steps for which the applicants can not be held liable and no injury was found on the body of the deceased, which would show that she was not subjected to any torture. It is further submitted that the applicants are in jail since 27.12.2016 and charge-sheet in this case has been filed, therefore, the counsel prays that the applicants may be enlarged on bail.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application.
