In the affidavit filed in support of the bail application, it has been stated that the applicant is father in law of the deceased, he has no criminal history and he has been falsely implicated in the present case. It has also been submitted on behalf of the applicant that the co-accused Sushma has already been enlarged on bail by this court by means of an order dated 29.04.2025, passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.3577 of 2025. 7. Learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the bail application and on the basis of written instructions, he has submitted that allegations have been established during investigation and a charge-sheet has been submitted against all the accused persons on 12.02.2025. 8. Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that although the FIR alleges that the accused persons had killed the informant's daughter, the postmortem report mentions no mark of injury on the dead body, except a ligature mark around the neck which was interrupted by 2.5 cm on the left side and the cause of death has been opined to be Asphyxia due to ante-mortem hanging; that the FIR levels similar allegations against all the accused persons and no specific allegation has been levelled against the applicant and that the applicant is father in law of the deceased having no criminal history and he is languishing in jail since 27.01.2025 whereas the investigation already stands concluded and the co-accused Sushma has already been enlarged on bail by this court, 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. 9. Accordingly, this bail application stands allowed. 10. Let the applicant-Bechan Lal be released on bail in the aforementioned case on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of Magistrate/Court concerned, subject to following conditions:- (i) the applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence; (ii) the applicant shall not pressurize the prosecution witnesses; (iii) the applicant shall appear on each and every date fixed by the trial court, unless his appearance is exempted by the learned trial court.
