Attention of this Court has been drawn towards the impugned FIR, wherein specific allegation has been levelled against the present applicant and against two unknown persons. The present applicant is the second wife of the deceased with whom she was living. As per one independent witness the present applicant had verbal quarreled with her husband (since deceased) and on that date he found dead, therefore, the impugned FIR has been lodged on the basis of suspicion, in as much as, there is no eye witness accounts. The relation of the present applicant was very much cordial with her husband and for that reason, she was living with her. Therefore, she has no motive or intention to kill to her husband, though she was not his legally wedded wife. 4. It has been further submitted by learned cousnel for the applicant that the charge sheet in this case has been filed, therefore there is no possibility of tampering the evidence or influencing the witnesses.

Accordingly, the instant bail application is allowed. 8. Let the applicant (Vimla Pasi) be released on bail in the aforesaid case crime number on her furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions:- (i) The applicant shall file an undertaking to the effect that she shall not seek any adjournment on the dates fixed for evidence when the witnesses are present in court.
