2. The case of the prosecution is that the defacto complainant is the father of the deceased and the petitioner is residing in the opposite house of the deceased. The petitioner had borrowed money from the deceased namely Bala. Thereafter, when she demanded repayment of the money, the petitioner used harsh words against her and claimed that he had not borrowed any money from her and thereby, the deceased committed suicide.

suffering incarceration for more than 40 days from 04.10.2021. He would submit that the petitioner is ready to abide by any stringent conditions and would pray for grant of bail to the petitioner.
4. The learned Government Advocate raised objection and would submit that the investigation is almost completed.
5. Considering the period of incarceration undergone by the petitioner and the fact that the investigation is almost completed, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner with certain conditions.
8. Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his executing a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/-(Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two sureties, each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate-II, Kancheepuram and on further conditions that:
