% 22.09.2017 Crl. M.A. 15921/2017 Allowed, subject to all just exceptions.

Application is disposed of.

Bail Appln. 1914/2017 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is the married sister of husband of the deceased. She was married to one Sh. Jagbir, who is resident of Village Bahadurgarh, Haryana, on 16th June, 2012. Petitioner had been living with her husband and has one daughter aged about three and a half years. On account of some marital discord with her husband, petitioner came to stay at her father's house, at the ground floor only 3/4 months prior to the incident. Allegations against the petitioner are vague and fake.

Learned APP submits that petitioner had been living in the same house at the ground floor; whereas deceased was living at the first floor. Father of the deceased has stated in the FIR that in-laws of the deceased used to beat her. There are specific allegations against the petitioner that she would quarrel with the deceased and beat her. Petitioner has been specifically named in the FIR. Petitioner is evading arrest. Accordingly, anticipatory bail may not be granted to the petitioner.

I have perused the FIR and the other material placed on record. Keeping in mind the facts and circumstances of this case, more particularly that petitioner is a married sister of husband of the deceased and has a daughter of three and a half years old and the fact that she had returned to her father's house only four months prior to the incident, it is ordered that in case of arrest petitioner be released on bail, subject to her furnishing a personal bond in the sum of `20,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer/Investigating Officer/SHO of the concerned police station. Bail application is disposed of the above terms. Dasti.
