The case against the petitioners is that the 1st petitioner married the deceased two years prior to the complaint. The petitioners are working and they started harassing the wife of Accused No.1 physically and mentally suspecting her character while she was talking to any other person and did not allow to talk on phone. Ultimately on 21.09.2022 the deceased consumed acid resulting in her death. For the said reason, the petitioners were arrested and remanded to judicial custody on 23.09.2022.

As seen from the remand report, the only allegation against these petitioners is that they were suspecting the character of the deceased. Apart from the said allegation, there are no other allegations made. Since the petitioners are in jail since 23.09.2022, they can be granted the relief of regular bail. 5.
