...Petitioner

Versus

State of Haryana ....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAMENDRA JAIN Present:- Mr. K.L. Saini, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Munish Sharma, AAG, Haryana.

Mr. R.S. Budhwar, Advocate, for the complainant. RAMENDRA JAIN, J. (ORAL) The case has been taken up for hearing through video conferencing.

Through instant petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. prayer has been made for grant of regular bail to petitioner - Babli Devi - in a case arising from FIR No.50 dated 08.02.2020 registered under Section 304-B/34 IPC at Police Station Ladwa, District Kurukshetra (Haryana). According to the prosecution, petitioner along with her son killed her daughter-in-law due to non-fulfillment of demand of dowry and her body was hanged with a tree in order to project it as a suicide case. Learned counsel inter alia contends that petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. Petitioner is in custody since 09.02.2020. Conclusion of trial may take a sufficient long time. No useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in jail any more. RAVINDER SINGH 2020.06.25 16:33 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
