The petitioner appears to be husband of the deceased Soni Kumari, who died due to asphyxia because of drowning in a well. 4. It is alleged that the petitioner had remarried in life time of the deceased. There was some marital dispute between the petitioner and the deceased. The statements of independent witnesses has been recorded at paragraph 50 & 51 of the Case Diary, in which they have stated that there was some scuffle between them and the deceased jumped into the well. Thereafter, the petitioner also jumped in the well to save the deceased. Both were taken out of the well in unconscious state. However, the deceased died. 5. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner. 6. Considering the statements of independent witnesses that the deceased had herself jumped into the well, I am inclined to release the petitioner, on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner, named above, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of Smt. Priyanka Chopra, learned J.M.F.C., Hazaribag or her successor in connection with Ichak P.S. Case No. 44/2024 corresponding to G.R. Case No. 1512/2024. (Ambuj Nath, J.) Rahul/-
