2.

Heard Sri GVNRSSS Vara Prasad, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for respondent-State.

3.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the present petitioner was the brother of accused No.1. Accused No.1 was granted regular bail by this Court on 06.11.2024. Accused No.2 was the mother of accused No.1 and she was also granted anticipatory bail by the Sessions Court. There were no specific allegations made against the present petitioner except leveling some omnibus allegations that she was harassed by her husband, mother-in-law, brother-in-law

and co-sister, as the deceased was childless and for seeking additional dowry. The petitioner/accused No.3 never involved in the issues pertaining to the deceased and accused No.1. The ingredients of the offences under Sections 85 and 108 of BNS could not be made out as per the facts and circumstances and prayed to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. 4.

The learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Considering that there were no specific allegations made against the petitioner about harassing the deceased physically and mentally or that he abetted the offence of committing suicide by the deceased, it is considered a fit case to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner subject to the following conditions.
