In light of the said, the counsel for the applicant draws my attention to the inquest report, wherein no injury was observed on the body of the victim and a view was formed that she had committed suicide. The postmortem report on record indicated the presence of eight injuries, which, according to the applicant, could have occurred when the body was lowered. The hyoid bone was found to be fractured, for which it was recorded that it was a case of ante-mortem strangulation. The applicant is the husband, and the co-accused has been enlarged on bail. The applicant is in custody since 27.06.2024. 5. Considering the postmortem report, and the fact that the applicant is in custody for more than one and a half years and even the charges have not been framed, the applicant, who has no criminal history, is entitled to bail.
