consecutively. Aggrieved by the same, the present appeal has been filed.

3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondent.

However, a perusal of evidence of P.W.1 clearly shows that even before her suicide, the deceased was beaten up by the petitioners herein.
