Petitioner is in custody since 27th March, 2026. Charge sheet has already been submitted and the incident took place after 5 years of marriage. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail, produces the case diary. 2 I have taken into account the statement of the witnesses including the post-mortem report. There are no physical injuries reflecting in the post-mortem report and the doctor’s opinion reflect that death was due to hanging anti- mortem in nature. Having considered that the prosecution has relied upon 17 witnesses in order to prove its case and the fact that there are no other antecedents of the present petitioners, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail.
