Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A. and perused the record. 2. The applicant seeks enlargement on bail in FIR No.341 of 2022, under Section 302, 201 IPC, Police Station Huzoorpur, District Bahraich. 3. In terms of the FIR, it was alleged that the daughter of the informant was married to the applicant around 22 years ago and subsequently, the applicant developed an illicit relation. It was also alleged that on the date of incident, the daughter of the informant was badly beaten up and thereafter she was hanged after killing her. The postmortem report indicates the cause of death due to ante mortem strangulation. Hyoid bones was found to be intact. 4. In the light of the abovesaid, it is proposed to be argued that the cause of death was hanging and not strangulation. 5. Learned A.G.A. vehemently opposed the bail prayer. 6. Considering the inconsistencies in the postmortem report; the fact that the applicant has no criminal antecedents and is languishing in jail since 14.09.2022 and the applicant has suffered pretrial detention of more than three years, I am of the view that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail.
