LD-VC-CRIMINAL APPLICATION (ABA) NO. 459 OF 2020.

5.

Perused the application, documents and the affidavit-in-reply filed on behalf of the State. 6.

Undisputedly, the main accused in the instant case is already behind the bar. Applicant Nos.2 and 3 have already withdrawn their applications and accordingly, their names have been deleted from the

24 LDVC ABA 459.2020 record.

7.

With regard to applicant No.1, she is the wife of the main accused and admittedly, no specific role is attributed to her with regard to the alleged offences.

8.

The main dispute between the parties is with regard to approach road to the field of the deceased through the field of the applicant No.1. 9.

It is alleged that the deceased, who had fed up with the continuous harassment from the main accused, even after getting relief from the Revenue Courts, took the drastic step of suicide.

10.

Considering the fact that there is no specific role attributed to applicant No.1, I am of the view that no custodial interrogation is required and accordingly, the protection granted to her by this Court vide order dated 25/06/2020 is hereby confirmed on the same conditions with a rider to attend the concerned Police Station on the first Monday of each month, pending trial.

11.

The Criminal Application is disposed of accordingly.
