(Oral) Prayer in this petition is for grant of regular bail to the petitioner, in a case arising out of FIR No. 71 dated 04.02.2016, registered at Police Station Camp, Palwal District Palwal, who has been booked for having committed the offence punishable under Sections 304-B/34 IPC. Petitioner is mother-in-law of the deceased Geeta and the allegations against the petitioner are general in nature that she tortured the deceased. The bail application of the petitioner was declined on the ground that the toes of the deceased were touching the bed while her body was hanging from ceiling fan through the 'dupatta'. The possibility of death by suicide was found to be quite remote. The deceased died within 07 years of her marriage.
