U.P. Lko. Counsel for Applicant :- Rakesh Kumar,Arun Kumar Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Karunesh Singh Pawar,J. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State and perused the record. In the prosecution case, it is alleged that the informant solemnized the marriage of his niece on 13.11.2020 and gave dowry as per his financial capacity. However, the victim's in- laws allegedly demanded a four-wheeler. It is further alleged that the victim's husband was a habitual drinker and subjected her to physical abuse. General allegations have also been made against the co-accused. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the allegations have been levelled against six individuals, all of whom are family members, including the applicant, who is the mother-in- law of the deceased. It is contended that the applicant maintained cordial relations with her daughter-in-law and no demand for dowry was made by her. Furthermore, the applicant was residing separately. This fact of separate living has been confirmed by prosecution witness Sunita and also acknowledged by the coordinate Bench of this Court while granting bail to co-accused Shekh Rampal by order dated 14.07.2025 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 6055 of 2025. The applicant seeks parity with the said bail order. The applicant is a woman and is in custody since 05.03.2025. It is further submitted that there is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away after being released from jail or tampering with the witnesses. In case the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail. Learned AGA has opposed the bail application submitting the victim has died under unnatural circumstances. On due consideration to the role assigned to the applicant, the bail granted to co-accused Shekh Rampal, the noted fact of her separate living, and the postmortem report indicating that the cause of death was antemortem hanging with no injuries on the body other than the ligature mark, the applicant is languishing in jail since 05.03.2025, I am of the view that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Let the applicant Rajeshwari involved in Case Crime No.104 of 2025 under Sections 80(2), 85, 115(2) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Section 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, P.S.

In case of default of this condition, it shall be open for the trial court to treat it as abuse of liberty of bail and pass orders in accordance with law. (v) The applicant shall remain present before the trial court on each date fixed, either personally or through her counsel. In case of her absence, without sufficient cause, the trial court may proceed against him in accordance with law.
