Counsel for Applicant :- Birendra Singh,Swati Singh Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Sameer Jain,J. 1. Heard Sri Birendra Singh, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Rajeev Dhar Dwivedi, learned AGA for the State-respondent. 2. The instant application has been filed seeking release of the applicant on bail in Case Crime No. 08 of 2025, under Sections 103(1), 238, 61(2) BNS, Police Station- Bharatkoop, District- Chitrakoot, during pendency of the trial in the court below. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that applicant is wife of the deceased and she has been made accused in the present matter on the ground that she was having illicit relationship with co-accused Vinod, therefore, she committed murder of her husband along with him but entire allegation made against the applicant is totally false. 4. He further submitted that except suspicion, there is no evidence against the applicant on record, which can connect her with the instant crime. 5. He further submitted that applicant is lady and she is not having any criminal history and she is in jail in the present matter since 08.01.2025. 6. Per contra, learned AGA however, opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the argument on facts advanced by learned counsel for the applicant. 7. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record of the case. 8. However, as per allegation, applicant was having illicit relationship with co-accused Vinod, therefore, she committed the murder of her husband along with him but it reflects, except suspicion, there is no cogent evidence against the applicant, which can connect her with the instant crime. 9. Further, applicant is lady and she is not having any criminal history and she is in jail in the present matter since 08.01.2025. 10. Therefore, considering the facts and circumstances of the case discussed above, in my view applicant is entitled to be released on bail. 11. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant bail application is allowed. 12. Let the applicant- Sunaina be released on bail in the aforesaid case on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions:- (i) The applicant shall appear before the trial court on the dates fixed, unless his personal presence is exempted.

(iii) The applicant shall not indulge in any criminal and anti-social activity. 13. In case of breach of any of the above condition, the prosecution will be at liberty to move an application before this Court for cancellation of the bail of the applicant. 14. It is clarified that the observations made herein are limited to the facts brought in by the parties pertaining to the disposal of bail application and the said observations shall have no bearing on the merits of the case during trial.
