It was submitted that though the F.I.R. was instituted under Section 304(B) of the I.P.C. but after investigation police has submitted chargesheet in this case under Section 306 of the I.P.C. It was further submitted that the deceased has committed suicide because her husband was working in Gujrat and she wanted to stay with him. Mr. Ankit Kumar, learned counsel for the informant has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail. Considering the nature of allegation, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioners on bail.
