1. Heard Sri B.K. Sharma, Advocate holding brief of Sri Roopesh Srivastava, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Ghanshyam, learned brief holder for the State. 2. The instant bail application has been filed seeking release of the applicant on bail in Case Crime No.0216 of 2024, under Sections 108, 115(2), 351(2), 352 BNS, Police Station Tehrauli, District Jhansi, during pendency of the trial. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that applicant is unmarried sister of the deceased and on the basis of false allegation, she has been made accused along with others and there is no cogent evidence of abetment against her. 4. He further submits that admittedly, deceased committed suicide in her paternal home. He next submits that FIR of the present case was lodged after one month. It is further submitted that applicant is not having any previous criminal history and in the present matter, she is in jail since 06.11.2024. 5. Per contra, learned AGA opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the argument on facts advanced by learned counsel for the applicant. 6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record of the case. 7. However, as per allegation due to abetment of applicant and others deceased committed suicide but record suggests that there is delay of one month in lodgment of the present FIR and record also suggests that deceased committed suicide in her paternal home. 8. Further, applicant is unmarried sister-in-law of the deceased and it cannot be reflected that there is any cogent evidence against her on record with regard to the abetment. Further, applicant is not having any previous criminal history and in the present matter, she is in jail since 06.11.2024. 9. Therefore, considering the facts and circumstances of the case discussed above, in my view, applicant is entitled to be released on bail. 10. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant bail application is allowed. 11. Let the applicant - Km.
