According to the FIR, the deceased committed suicide on 03.07.2024 and before committing suicide the deceased made a video in which he had fixed responsibilities of his suicide on six persons as named in the FIR. He submits that at the time of suicide of the deceased, the applicant was at Tamilnadu and he had no connection with the aforesaid crime. From the FIR itself it is not reflected that due to abatement of the applicant the deceased has committed suicide. The necessary ingredients to constitute the offence under Section 108 B.N.S. are not made out. The applicant, in no manner, abetted the commission of suicide by the deceased. In support of his submission, counsel for the applicant has placed reliance on the judgement of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Amalendu Pal vs. State of West Bengal arising out of Criminal Appeal No. 2091 of 2009 decided on 11.11.2009.

Learned A.G.A. and learned counsel for the informant opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. Having regard to the submissions made by learned counsel for the applicant, considering the nature of accusations, antecedents of the applicant and the fact that as per the allegations in the first information report, the necessary ingredients to constitute the offence under Section 108 B.N.S. are not made out. At this stage, there is no substantive evidence against the applicant, without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on anticipatory bail till the trial.
In the event of arrest, the applicant, Pramod Kumar Dubey, involved in the aforesaid case crime be released on anticipatory bail during pendency of trial, on furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions: (i) The applicant shall make himself available on each and every date fixed in the matter by the court concerned; (ii) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the
