Mr. Shangarsh Pandey, Dy. Govt. Adv.

Hon'ble Shri Justice Arvind Singh Chandel Order on Board 13/12/2018 1.

The Applicants have preferred this First bail application under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C for grant of regular bail as they are arrested in connection with Crime No. 302/2018 registered at Police Station Mandir Hasaud, District Raipur (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Section 306/34 of the IPC.

2.

In this case, Deceased Santoshi Sahu was married with co-accused Chintamani Sahu in the year 2013. The Applicants are mother-in-law and father-in-law of the Deceased. It is alleged that after marriage, the Applicants along with husband of the Deceased tortured the Deceased mentally and physically. They also ill treated her, due to which on 21/08/2018, she committed suicide along with her two children. On the basis of report, offence has been registered and the Applicants have

been taken into custody on 24/09/2009 3.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Applicants submits that the Applicants are innocent and have been falsely implicated. There is no evidence on record on the basis of which any case under Section 306 IPC can be made out against the Applicants. Deceased committed suicide only because of quarrels took place on the house hold works. The Applicants are father-in-law and mother-in-law of the Deceased, they are in custody since 24/09/2018, therefore, they may be released on bail.

4.

Counsel appearing on behalf of the State also opposes the bail application.

5.

I have heard learned counsel for both the parties. 6.

Considering the entire facts and circumstances of the case, particularly considering that the Applicants are father-in-law and mother-in-law of the Deceased, they are in custody since 24/09/2018, charge-sheet has been filed and trial will likely to take some time, without further commenting on merit of the case, I am inclined to release the Applicants on bail.

7.

Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 8.

It is directed that the Applicants shall be released on bail on each of them executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs. 20,000/- with one surety for the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court for their appearance before the said Court, as and when directed.
