CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH KUMAR For the Petitioner : Mr. Ram Lakhan Yadav, Adv. For the State : Ms. Anuradha Sahay, A.P.P. .... 04/13.03.2026 1. The applicant-lady who is in custody since 16.05.2025 has approached this Court for grant of regular bail in connection with Deori P.S. Case No.36 of 2025, registered for the offence under Sections 103(1) and 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023, pending in the court of learned J.M.1st Class, Giridih. 2. It has been submitted by learned counsel for the applicant(s) that complete set of F.I.R. alongwith its enclosure have been annexed with this bail application and there is no suppression on his/her part. 3. Innocence has been claimed and undertaking has been given for participation in the trial. It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is the sister-in-law (Gotni) of the deceased and general allegation of taunting the deceased for not having any child of her own was being made by the entire family. It has been further submitted that the husband of the deceased has already been granted bail. It is further submitted that the facts, as alleged, will not constitute abetment to commit suicide. These were normal wear and tear of family life and in the absence of any overt act of abetment, offence under Section 103(1) of BNS, 2023 will not be made out. On above basis, prayer for bail has been made. 4. Learned A.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant. 5. Considering the above facts, I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the applicant, named above, is directed to be released on bail, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Ten thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned J.M.1st Class, Giridih in connection with Deori P.S. Case No.36 of 2025, subject to the condition that the applicant will submit self-attested copy of her Aadhaar Card and also give her mobile number before the learned trial court which she will not change during pendency of this case without prior permission of the court.
