The applicant seeks enlargement on bail in FIR No. 271 of 2025, under sections 108, 351(2) BNS, P.S. Pihani, District Hardoi. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant argues that in terms of FIR lodged under Section 173(4) it was alleged that husband of the complainant was having illicit relationship with the applicant for the last four years and the applicant was allegedly pressing him for rights in the property and threats were issued for lodging false FIR. Subsequently the husband of the complaint was hanged to death. Cause of death as per post mortem report is ante mortem hanging. The applicant is being tried for offence under Section 108 BNS. 4. Learned A.G.A. opposed the bail prayer. 5. Considering the allegations in the FIR and prima facie material to suggest abetment at the instance of the applicant as defined under BNS Act is apparently missing as well as considering the law laid down by Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Mariano Anto Bruno and Anr vs Inspector of Police, 2022 SCC Online SC 1387, however, without commenting upon the merits of the case, the applicant who is in jail since 19.9.2025 and has no criminal history is entitled to be enlarged on bail.
