Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that though the FIR alleges that the accused persons had killed the applicant's wife and hanged her, the postmortem report mentions no injury except the ligature mark around neck of the deceased; the FIR discloses similar allegations against all the accused persons, however, allegations against three accused persons could not be established during investigation and the charge-sheet has been submitted against the applicant and his mother only and his mother has already been granted bail, I am of the view that the applicant is also entitled to be released on bail. 8.Accordingly, the instant bail application stands allowed. 9.
