He has submitted that the deceased has died within one year of her marriage and the investigation is still going on. 9. Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that the applicant's wife committed suicide while she was staying in the house of her father for the past one week; two co-accused persons have been granted bail and that applicant is languishing in jail since 07.10.2024 and has no previous criminal history and without making any observation, which may affect the merits of the case, I am of the view that the aforesaid facts are sufficient for making out a case for enlargement of the applicant on bail in the aforesaid crime. 10.
