HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 10606 of 2025 Court No. - 12 HON'BLE PANKAJ BHATIA, J.
1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA and perused the record. 2. The accused-applicant seeks bail in FIR/Case Crime No.91 of 2025 under sections 108/351(2) BNS, P.S. Maholi, District Sitapur. 3. In terms of the FIR lodged through an application under section 173(4), it was alleged that the father of the informant had died and the mother of the informant was starting staying with the applicant. Subsequently, the brother of the informant was beaten because of which he committed suicide and subsequently, the mother of the informant was also committed suicide. It was stated that the mother was staying with the applicant. The cause of death, as per the postmortem report, is ante-mortem hanging. 4. Considering the postmortem report and the nature of the allegations levelled, prima-facie, the abetment at the instance of the applicant for an offence under section 108 BNS is apparently missing, thus, considering the law as explained in the case of Mariano Anto Bruno and another vs. Inspector of Police; 2022 SCC Online SC 1387, the applicant who is in custody since 05.06.2025 and has no criminal history is entitled for the bail. Thus the bail application is allowed. 5.
