4. He further submits, however first bail application of the applicant was dismissed as not pressed by Hon'ble Krishna Pahal,J but His Lordship has released the instant second bail application and this Court is dealing with such matters, therefore, after the

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record of the case. 9. From the record, it reflects, this is second bail application filed on behalf of the applicant but first bail application of the applicant was dismissed as not pressed. 10. Further, first bail application of the applicant was although dismissed as not pressed by Hon'ble Krishna Pahal,J but His Lordship has released the instant second bail application and this Court is dealing with such matters, therefore, the instant application has been listed before this Court. 11. Further, applicant is Devar of the deceased and bail application of mother-in-law of the deceased, Smt.

Further, applicant is not having any criminal history and in the present matter he is in jail since 09.10.2024 i.e. for last more than seven months. 13. Therefore, considering the facts and circumstances of the case discussed above, in my view, applicant is entitled to be released on bail. 14. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant bail application is allowed. 15.
