The applicant is father-in-law and he is not entitled to be released on bail. The learned State Counsel states that the investigation is still going on. 7. Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that the inquest proceedings were conducted in presence of the informant and that time he merely stated that his sister had committed suicide and he did not allege her harassment for demanding dowry; that the postmortem examination report does not reveal any injury, except a ligature mark; that the F.I.R. does not level any specific allegation against the applicant and that the applicant has no criminal history and he is languishing in jail since 08.02.2025, 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. 8.
