3.

The daughter-in-law has lost the life. Her cause of death was 'Smothering with constriction of neck, associated with evidence of head injury'. Admittedly, the incident happened in the morning. The prosecution has a evidence that when the incident happened, the applicant was not in the house. Only the father-in-law and the victim were in the house. The victim also did not state the incident to her brother when he reached to her. Considering the material on record, there is a ground to dispute the involvement of the applicant in the

939-ba-1195-2024.odt (2) crime. No weapon is used in the crime. Nothing is to be recovered from the applicant. Hence, the following order :

O R D E R
