His friend Ravindra Kumar Srivastava had told him that on 7.10.2023 he had seen that the informant's sister Mina, her husband Sarvajeet Singh, Hari Singh alias Saurabh Singh, and Ramshree alias Chutkanna were talking in loud voices, but as they were family members and relatives, he did not say anything. He further states that on 08.12.2023 his wife's brother Arvind Kumar singh, cousin Sandeep Kumar Singh told that the deceased's husband Sarvajeet Singh and brother-in-law Hari Singh had come to them and had confessed their involvement in commission of the offence. 4.

Hari Singh has already been granted bail by means of an order dated 20.02.2025 passed by a Coordinate Bench of this Court in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 7322 of 2024. 6. Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that the applicant has been implicated in the present case solely on the basis of custodial statement of co-accused Hari Singh, who has already been granted bail, without making any observation, which may affect the merits of the case, I am of the view that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail in the aforesaid crime. 10.
