Bail application of the petitioner was earlier rejected by this Court vide B.A. No. 6192 of 2024 by order dated 14.10.2024. The Petitioner happens to be mother-in-law of the deceased Urmila Devi, who was murdered in her matrimonial home. It was submitted that charge has been framed in this case and the prosecution has been examined four witnesses and none have supported the prosecution case. It was submitted that petitioner is a lady and she is in custody since 31.03.2024. Learned A.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail.
In view of the submission made above, I am inclined to release the petitioner, on bail.
